    Description

    Illustrated, Leather Binding

    First published in 1751, and revised in 1758, this is a wonderful four volume 1776 edition of Smollett's novel, illustrated with an engraved frontispiece to each volume.

    A celebrated work from Scottish novelist, surgeon, critic and playwright Tobias Smollett.

    The novel tells the story of an egotistical man who experiences luck and misfortunes in the height of eighteenth-century European society, and features several amusing characters, who are thought to have inspired Dickens.

    ESTC citation novel T55352.

    A lovely copy of a work that George Orwell praised, asserting that "Smollett attains a truthfulness that more serious novelists have missed."
