Reprinted, with Additions, from the Third Edition of Jeremiah Joyce's Abridgement. Revised and Edited by Wolsely P. Emerton. Part I. Books I. and II.; Part II. Books III, IV, and V. First Emerton edition. Two volumes. Small 8vo. xvi, 159, [1], 12 [publisher's advertisements dated 'June 1882']; x, 209, [3], [publisher's advertisements dated 'May 1880'] pp. Original red cloth, spines lettered and ruled in gilt, covers with blind fillet borders, printed endpapers to Vol. 1 (neat contemporary ownership inscriptions of 'H.R. Stokoe' to front flyleaves of both volumes; only light shelf wear to extremities, otherwise an excellent set). Oxford, James Thornton. The first Wolseley P. Emerton edition of what started life as the first ever précis of the Wealth of Nations, edited by Jeremiah Joyce and originally published in 1797. Joyce's abridgement was brought up-to-date for students of the University of Oxford by Emerton, who 'completely recast' Joyce's version 'with whole passages substituted, sometimes drafted by Emerton and sometimes taken from paraphrases of other authors' (Tribe, p. 268). A revised one-volume edition of Emerton's version was then published 1881. Tribe, A Critical Bibliography of Adam Smith, 199 & 208.

First edition. [4], 290pp, [2]. With a final publisher's advertisement leaf (not recorded by ESTC). Contemporary dark green calf-backed marbled boards, ruled and lettered in gilt. Extremities worn, loss to head of spine. Head of title page shaved (sadly, to remove an early ownership inscription), foxed. The rare first edition of the first work of economics, in English, consciously intended for use as a textbook. As the author himself notes in a preliminary 'advertisement' which heaps justifiable praise on the magnum opus of Adam Smith, the work was designed to be 'found convenient as a text book in those institutions of liberal education, in which the "Wealth of Nations" makes an essential branch of their letters'. 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. As Joyce himself notes in a footnote to the final page of text, the developments suggested by Smith relating to alleviating the national debt (by introducing the British system of taxation to 'all provinces of the empire') were superseded by events in America during the 1770s, and, any hope for the 'discharging of the national debt' brought even more into doubt by the 'present melancholy situation of Ireland'. ESTC locates only 11 copies in the UK, and just 12 further elsewhere. ESTC T95379. Size: 8vo.

Third Joyce edition, constituting upon its first publication in 1797 the first abridgement of Smith's Wealth of Nations, a conscious move by the editor Jeremiah Joyce to turn the bulky two or three volumes of the original into a more manageable textbook of economics. Octavo (174 x 102 mm). Contemporary marbled sides and vellum tips sometime rebacked with brown sheep, spine lettered in gilt. Ownership inscription to front pastedown of Edgar MacCulloch (likely the expert on Guernsey folklore, 1808-1896), above later stamp of Elizabeth College Library in Guernsey. Very minor rubbing, very light spotting and creasing to pages. A very good copy.
