SNIITIAWEALTH OF NATIONS.

Ludgate-street, Feb. 25, 1839.
„Tn. VDIVARD GIBBON WAKEFIELD
having published an Advertisement, in which he states
ts"'l'.e "has instructed his Solicitors, Messrs. FEW, HAMIL-
s('JS and FEW, to commence an action against Messrs.
:ARLES KNIGHT and Co., the Publishers, of Ludgate-
. as.et, unless they shall immediately assent to a proposal which
st. been made to them for removing the injurious and tari-
fa:tided imputations cast upon him in an Advertisement,
b ginning Smith's Wealth of Nations :' "—Messrs. Charles
Knight and Co., feel it their duty to re-publish, and to give a
more extensive circulation to, the Advertisement which Mr.
Wakefield has thus endeavoured to suppress. It is as follows :
SMITH'S WEALTH OF NATIONS,
WITH COMMENTARY,
By Tthe Author of " England and America."
HERE are particular occasions on which it
is necessary to trouble the public with a statement of
private transactions. The non-completion of this work, the
publication of which commenced in 1835, is one cf these occa-
skins. In tha April of that year Sir. Knight agreed with Mr.
E ;ward Gibbon Wakefield, the Author of " England and Ame-
rica," to publish an edition of Smith's " Wealth of Nations," with
a Commentary, by Mr. Wakefield. The work was to be brought
out in periodical volumes, and to be sold eheap. Sir. Wakefield
wa.s paid in advance WO/. on account of the Commentary. The
first volume appeared, and was well received by the public :
the seco .d was also duly published. The third volume, after
some inters:4l; was published ; but Sir. Wakefield did not
e niribute single note towards it. The last volume,
wnich connects the text with the end of the third volume,
has been printed two years. Of the fourth volume, which
was to consist entirely of original matter, Mr. Wakefield has
fui•nished twenty pages only—after every mode of entreaty and
of remonstrance has been resorted to in vain, during the course
et the last three years. The publishers feel that they cannot
any longer remain silent, under what appears to be a fraud upon
Oe purchasers of the three Volumes. They, therefore, sub-
snit this statement of facts to the public, and beg to announce
that the Volume, which completes the Text, will be published
on the Ist of March.
