Adam Smith

Edité par Dublin, 1776

Adam Smith - Wealth of Nations - 1776, First Dublin Edition (3 Volumes) ---- A true gem for collectors and historians, this is the extremely rare First Dublin Edition of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, published in 1776 shortly after the groundbreaking first London edition. This complete set of three octavo volumes is increasingly hard to find, making it a highly desirable acquisition for any serious collection. *** The books are bound in full contemporary calf, with gilt titles on all volumes. While the bindings show expected signs of age, including some discoloration and minor wear to the joints and spines, they remain sturdy and intact, with the interior remarkably clean. Each volume features the signature of Sir Richard Frankland of Ashgrove, adding a notable provenance to this distinguished set. *** Smith's work sparked a revolution in political economy, advocating for free trade, market-driven pricing, and limited government intervention. With its arguments still shaping modern economic thought, this edition holds immense historical importance. It is extremely hard to find on the market today, especially in such good condition, and its historical context and significance make it a must-have for serious collectors of rare books or works of economic history.
