AN INQUIRY INTO THE NATURE AND CAUSES OF THE WEALTH OF NATIONS. A New Edition.
Book Description
THREE VOLUMES. 8vo. (9.3 x 6 inches). Tall, wide margined copy with the pages untrimmed. Half titles present in all three volumes.
Two leaves duplicated and incorrectly inserted into the end of volume two, namely 2 pages from the index which appears in volume 3 have been bound in in error, one where page 513/4 should be (easy to see how, both leaves share the signature Ll), the other at the end of the text where a blank should be, and the two leaves of Appendix are bound in the wrong order but complete. A neat previous owner name to the top of the title page in volume 3. Some foxing and offsetting of the text block to a few leaves in each volume, particularly the first pages of volume one, but overall a very good set. Finely bound in recent full antique speckled brown calf. Spines with five raised bands, the compartments decorated and ruled in blind. Red and green labels, ruled and lettered in gilt. Single ruled gilt borders on boards. Overall a very good, and large copy.
