Fourth Irish edition of the "first and greatest classic of modern economic thought" (PMM), in a handsome contemporary Irish binding. Towards the end of the Wealth of Nations, Smith outlines an expansive and audacious plan for the political-economic consolidation of the British Empire. In this plan, Ireland was to be united with Great Britain in a move largely modelled on the Anglo-Scottish union of 1707. Smith stresses the political and economic benefits to the Irish, anticipating that the move would end British trade restrictions and even neutralize the fractious nature of Irish politics. Ironically, Smith's wider theories of political economy in the Wealth of Nations were often co-opted by Irishmen diametrically opposed to his political proposals, most notably the United Irishman Arthur O'Connor (1763-1852), whose approach to democratic land reform was "a radicalised version of Smith's political economy" (Andersen). The United Irishmen mounted a rebellion in 1798, the failure of which led to precisely the Anglo-Irish union advocated by Smith. This fourth Irish edition was the first to be published in the newly formed United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Kress B.4448; Tribe 75; Vanderblue, p. 20. L. S. Andersen, "The Political Economy of Ireland and Its Counterfactuals: Review of James Strafford The Case of Ireland: Commerce, Empire and the European Order, 1750-1848 (CUP, 2022)", History of European Ideas, vol. 50, no. 1, 2023. 2 vols, octavo (204 x 131 mm), pp. xiii, [1], 498; viii, 489.

With 1824 prize inscription in Latin to fourth blank of vol. I. Extremities refurbished, light scuffing, faint sunning to spines, minor foxing and offsetting to contents, leaf P6 of vol. II with 7 cm closed tear, touching text: a very good copy. …

Full calf. Etat : Very Good. Very early Irish editions of "The Wealth of Nations", both volumes published out of Dublin, in mixed states. Vol. I is the 1801 "sixth edition, with additions"; and Vol. II is the 1785 "fourth edition, with additions". Thick, uniform octavos, both volumes bound identifically in their contemporary-to-the-period full calf, with professionally, handsomely rebacked spines ansd new endsheets. The original text and bindings have held up very well: solid and VG+, with bright, crisp pages. Only the original title page of Vol. I shows notable wear, with creasing, several small closed tears and soiling along the top-edge. Originally published out of London in 1776, this elegant, early set out of Dublin (though mismatched editions) remains very presentable and deeply historic.…
