An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. Later London edition in the original boards of "the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought" (Printing and the Mind of Man). It reprints the text of the fifth edition (1786), the last to be published in Smith's lifetime, and which was itself based on the text of the third edition, the last to which Smith made any significant changes. The Life and the essay by Germaine Garnier, translator of the Wealth into French, were first included together in 1806.
