A lucid abridgement by English radical Jeremiah Joyce 1763-1816 of Scottish philosopher Adam Smith's monumental Wealth of nations it condensed the two thick quartos of the original edition London 1776 or the by then well known bulky triple-decker octavo editions of the late eighteenth century into a single convenient octavo volume.

"To those then who are engaged in the pursuit of political science this compendium if properly executed cannot fail of being highly useful. It will also be found convenient as a textbook in those institutions of liberal education in which the "Wealth of Nations" makes an essential branch of their lectures."
