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

A half-title was issued in volume II only - none was printed for volume I, so its absence there is not a defect and its supposed presence is a warning sign - and a publisher's advertisement leaf belongs at the end of volume II. The first edition is a heavily cancelled book: leaves M3, Q1, U3, 2Z3, 3A4 and 3O4 in volume I and D1 and 3Z4 in volume II are cancels, and auction and ABAA dealer descriptions of the first edition itemise them individually
