To Which is added A Dissertation on the Origin of Languages. First American from the Twelfth Edinburgh Edition. Philadelphia: Published by Anthony Finley. J. Maxwell Printer. 1817. First American edition stated. There was a edition printed in Boston the same year. It is believed that this Philadelphia edition came before the Boston edition. Sabin only lists the Boston edition. Kress calls this the first American and Vanderblue collection lists the Philadelphia copy first and does not have a Boston copy. Both editions are very rare. We could only find 7 copies total on Rare Book Hub the last appearing in 2007.

Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments is drawn from his course of lectures while he was professor of moral philosophy at the University of Glasgow. "The work received wide acclaim and so impressed the stepfather of the young duke of Buccleuch that he invited Smith to become the duke's tutor with the promise of a pension for life.The greater part of the Theory of Moral Sentiments is an account of moral psychology.The mainstay of Smith's moral psychology is sympathy.Smith characterizes the mechanism of sympathy in this way: 'Whatever is the passion which arises from any object in the person principally concerned an analogous emotion springs up at the throught of this situation in the breast of every attentive spectator'.Smith argues that if the appearance of grief or joy for example arouses similar feelings in us it is because these feelings suggest to us the general idea of some good or evil that has befallen the person in whom we observe them" Encyclopedia of Philosophy. "The Theory of Moral Sentiments was published in April 1759 and at once brought Smith something more than local fame. It was hailed by David Hume in typical ironic manner: 'I proceed to tell you the melancholy news' he wrote from London 'that your book has been very unfortunate: for the public seem disposed to applaud it extremely'" Mossner Adam Smith: The Biographical Approach p. 12. Provenance: The bookplates on this copy are for Joel Crawford Milledgeville GA 1824 and C.P. Crawford. Joel Crawford June 15 1783 - April 5 1858 was an American politician soldier and lawyer. He served as a U.S. Congressman in the state of Georgia. Kress B.7052. The Vanderblue memorial collection of Smithiana Pg 40-41. Sabin 82314 for first edition HBS 69616. $15000.

The second edition is the rarest of the early editions of The Wealth of Nations. Only 500 copies were printed. The third edition consisted of 1000 copies and the fourth 1250 copies. It is unknown how many copies of the more common first edition were published. "The second edition exhibits a number of alterations large and small some providing new information some correcting matters of fact some perfecting the idiom and large number now documenting references in footnotes" William B. Todd in the 1976 Oxford edition of The Wealth of Nations. Adam Smith 1723-1790 spent ten years in the writing and perfecting of The Wealth of Nations. "The book succeeded at once and the first edition was exhausted in six months.Whether it be true or not as Buckle said that the 'Wealth of Nations' was 'in its ultimate results probably the most important that had ever been written'.it is probable that no book can be mentioned which so rapidly became an authority both with statesmen and philosophers" D.N.B. "The history of economic theory up to the end of the nineteenth century consists of two parts: the mercantilist phase which was based not so much on a doctrine as on a system of practice which grew out of social conditions; and the second phase which saw the development of the theory that the individual had the right to be unimpeded in the exercise of economic activity. While it cannot be said that Smith invented the latter theory. his work is the first major expression of it. He begins with the thought that labour is the source from which a nation derives what is necessary to it. The improvement of the division of labour is the measure of productivity and in it lies the human propensity to barter and exchange. Labour represents the three essential elements- wages profit and rent- and these three also constitute income. From the working of the economy Smith passes to its matter- 'stock'- which compasses all that man owns either for his own consumption or for the return which it brings him. The Wealth of Nations ends with a history of economic development a definitive onslaught on the mercantile system and some prophetic speculations on the limits of economic control.The Wealth of Nations is not a system but as a provisional analysis it is complete convincing. The certainty of its criticism and its grasp of human nature have made it the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought" Printing and the Mind of Man 221 describing the 1776 first edition.

With a few annotations in manuscript pencil. An unproduced film adaptation of Joseph Conrad's 1911 novel "Under Western Eyes" which many consider to be Conrad's response to Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment" whom Conrad detested. Conrad's father was a revolutionary imprisoned by the Russians which initially inspired both this book and Conrad's hatred of the authorities of the Russian empire. The story generally deals with the failed attempts of a revolutionary told through a teacher of languages living in Geneva as the narrator. A young revolutionary Razumov feels isolated within the Czarist system and cynical about his station in life but falls into a trap of unfairness through simply associating with actual revolutionaries which land him in trouble and inspire others to take a stand against the government. Razumov betrayed a fellow revolutionary by ratting him out to the police and then working with the police as a double agent. When his conscience gets the better of him and he confesses his misdeeds to a revolutionary gathering in Switzerland they destroy his eardrums. A deaf Razumov is crushed by a tram and dies soon after. Set in St. Petersburg Russia and Geneva Switzerland.
