Description

Uncommon. Complete in 2 volumes bound in one. Tobias Smollett (1721-1771) was a Scottish poet and author, best known for his picaresque novels, which influenced later novelists such as Charles Dickens. This particular work is based in part on the authors own experience in the Royal Navy, as a surgeon's mate.
