Ricardo D (1817) On The Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, John Murray, London. Chapter 7 On Foreign Trade features the famous 'wine-for-cloth' example he used to illustrate comparative advantage.
See Steven Suranovic's most accessible, on-line overview of comparative advantage. He offers a brilliant explanation for the theory and for the reasons why it does not go down well with most mortals, as well as an intuitive interpretation of the model's results that will engage anyone with a passion for gardening (from International Trade Theory and Policy: The Ricardian Model of Comparative Advantage, The International Economics Study Center, Washington, © 1997-2003)
