A number of these sheets for this edition may well have been used from the first edition of 1776. “The Wealth of Nations is not a system but as a provisional analysis it is completely convincing. The certainty of its criticism and its grasp of human nature have made it the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought.” PMM.

The remaining 7 plates show figures copied from Vesalius Vesling Casserio and others along with commentary supplied by Petrioli who published the work in 1741. Petrioli also had the plates embellished with numerous smaller anatomical figures taken from Vesalius Valverde and others “engraved in an incongruous manner wherever there was sufficient space on the plate” (Roberts &Tomlinson). It is these embellishments which were removed from the plates of the 1788 edition (see following lot)..
