Fancy a Rare Copy of Wealth Of Nations?
For those interested in obtaining a good copy of Adam Smith’s Wealth Of Nations, I received notice from a bookseller I deal with of an 1812 edition by Cadell & Davis, publishers.
The bookseller’s notes accompanying news of the 3-volume edition state:
‘Smith's book was like a one-man Royal commission, a tour de force, drawing on evidence over the millennia since the fall of Rome and from contemporary evidence he analysed in painstaking detail (The Scotsman)’.
Regular readers of Lost Legacy will recognize these words as a summary of mine. Obviously somebody in The Scotsman (Edinburgh) reads Lost Legacy or articles of mine, showing an excellent taste in reading.
I have no commercial interest in the volumes on sale by Stella & Rose nor any connection, except as an occasional customer (I have found them efficient, helpful and honest; that’s all I know of them).
I am posting this notice as a service to Lost Legacy readers. Let me know how you get on.
