Dugald Steward in his Account of Adam Smith wrote:

If he had not been prevented by Quesnai's death, Mr Smith had once an
intention (as he told me himself) to have inscribed to him his 'Wealth
of Nations.'

Does "inscribed" indicate the he would send him a copy or dedicate it
to him.  One source says dedicate, but I am unsure about believing it.
