Odense, 1782. 8vo. In contemporary half calf with four raised bands and gilt lettering to spine. Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine. In ""Danmarks litterariske progresser"", vol. 2, entire volume offered. A nice and clean copy. Pp. 172-175 (Entire volume: (4), 364, (2) pp.)
The uncommon first mentioning of Adam Smith’s “Wealth of Nations” in Denmark. It was translated early into Danish (1779-1780) but curiously it did not spark any debate at first. “After the success which the book met very soon after its publication in England—the issue, as known, in nine parts in the years 1776–1779—one might have expected that the book should also in Denmark have attracted attention and have been the subject of enthusiastic discussion. That was, however, not the case" the only place where one finds the book mentioned soon after publication is—excepting Gyldendal’s own announcement in Adresse-Contoirs Efterretninger—in Det almindelige danske Bibliotek, 10th number for 1779 and 6th number for 1760, where the book is briefly mentioned in the notices of forthcoming publications with statement of its size and price. Not until much later - in the year 1782 - is there mention of the book. Announcements are found only in two monthly publications, namely, in Danmarks litterariske Progresser (1782, second volume, pages 172–175. Published in Odense) [The present and then later:] in Kjøbenhavnske nye Efterretninger for lærde Sager (October 25, 1782, No. 43, pages 683–687. Published in Copenhagen).” (Lai, Adam Smith Across Nations, p. 50).
