Smith, Adam - An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. In Three Volumes. The Eighth Edition

London, A. Strahan and T. Cadell and W. Davies, 1796. Hardcover. In a 20th century binding, quarter morocco over marbled boards, with gold-on-black spine labels. Bound without half titles. Three different circular embossed stamps (blind stamps) are noted, each about 1.5 inches in diameter. The first, reading "LIBRARY OF ARTHUR BEISS" on the circumference and "ABJ" in the center, appears on an early blank in each volume. The second is essentially the same, but reads "LIBRARY OF JUDITH BEISS" on the circumference and "JBA" in the center, and is found on a rear blank in each volume. A third circular embossed stamp of the same size is not entirely legible. It reads "THE [illegible] LIBRARY ASSOCIATION" on the circumference, with two smaller illegible lines, and a year, probably 1885, in the center. It is found on page 5 of each volume, and also on page 345 of volume 2, and page 327 of volume 3. The volumes contain no other ownership markings or annotations or markings of any kind. The pages are mildly foxed but without tears or other damage. Three volumes, separately paged. .
