Adam Smith & Robert Malthus.- Smith (Adam) [An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations], vol. I only, lacks title, interleaved copy with manuscript notes taken by a student at lectures by Malthus, 186pp. of manuscript headings of lectures, 2 interleaved ff. with marginal tears, some staining at beginning and end, slightly browned, new endpapers, modern half calf, gilt, 8vo printed edition bound in sm. 4to, printed edition dated 1811, interleaved pp. watermark dated 1817.

⁂ Student notes from lectures by Malthus on Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. The above bears a striking resemblance to brief notes taken "in 1828 by a student, J. D. Inverarity, in an interleaved copy of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, which Malthus was apparently using as a text." (Oxford DNB) That Malthus should be using Smith's Wealth of Nations as a text for his lectures rather than his own work on Political Economy is an indication of his regard for Smith.
