An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

Adam Smith · W. Strahan and T. Cadell, London · 1776

No book-club issue exists for an eighteenth-century quarto. Reprint tells are format and imprint: the first is a two-volume quarto printed for W. Strahan and T. Cadell, London, 1776. The common traps are the many later octavo London editions in three volumes (from the 1784 third edition onward, all with edition statements), Dublin and other non-London imprints, and Dobson's 1789 Philadelphia octavos.
