Catalogue Note
La meilleure traduction française. Elle est donnée par Germani Garnier (1754 - 1821) économiste et homme politique. Elle est augmentée d'un exposé de la doctrine de Smith comparée à celle des économistes français.
« Non seulement supérieure aux précédentes, mais encore enrichie de plusieurs morceaux importants du traducteur, lesquels offrent un plus grand intérêt à l'ouvrage de Smith » (Quérard IX, 192).
