    Description

    Illustrated, Leather Binding

    Scarce 1817 Edition. 

    Illustrations include a title page engraving, five illustrated plates, and several in-text illustrations by Richard Westall (1765-1836), an English painter and illustrator, best known for his portraits of Lord Byron. 

    This is a wonderful collection of poetry by Oliver Goldsmith, containing 'critical observations' about the poet and his work as well as some of his most well-loved poems. 

    Contents include 'The Traveller', 'The Deserted Village', 'The Hermit', 'The Logicians Refuted', and 'Stanza on Women', ending with 'Epilogue: Intended for Mrs. Buckley'. 

    Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) was an Anglo-Irish novelist, playwright, and poet. He is best known for his novel 'The Vicar of Wakefield', as well as his many pastoral poems. Many critics believe that he wrote the classic children's tale 'The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes'. 

    Collated, complete.
