Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Tobias Smollett (1721 - 1771, born in Scotland) was among the first few great English novelists. His marvelously complex episodic novels . picaresque adventures, really . were brilliant satires of British society. Comic and grotesque, perceptive and astute, hilarious and ribald, cruel yet sentimental, novels such as "Adventures of Peregrine Pickle", "Adventure of Ferdinand Count Fathom", "Adventures of Roderick Random", and "Expedition of Humphrey Clinker", all shared a propensity for exaggerated plots filled with colorful characters who impede or help the hero, who seemingly stumbles through life and a series of hilarious and somewhat unlikely adventures coming out like new-blown snow in the end. Well not quite. But a good time - or a wretched time , depending on the character, - is had by all. **************************** At times crass, boisterous, unbridled, nonetheless, each of these novels has much to reward the perceptive reader. The characters will live on in memory. Smollett was a physician by trade, which gave him a peculiarly personal view of humanity, and a humanist at heart. He was for the underdog, and not averse to pointing out the foibles and dirty underside of wealth, fame and social class. Smollett was a great influence on Charles Dickens, as well as many other subsequent novelists. *************************** This large tome collected Smollett's novels (and a smattering of poems) together in one massive volume. Originally issued in two volumes, this edition has bound both of them together, and includes the famous "Memoir of the Life and Writings of the Author" by Sir Walter Scott. As it says on the title page, this was a "New Edition" , with Illustrations by George Cruikshank (the famous cartoonist, caricaturist, and illustrator of the novels of Charles Dickens, among others). As well as a frontispiece portrait of Smollett, there are fifteen full page engraved illustrations by Cruikshank in the book. The book is undated, but was published by Stringer & Townsend in New York circa 1850 - 1855. On the title page is an excerpt from Scott's Memoir, succinctly giving his assessment of Smollett: "We readily grant to Smollett an equal rank with his great rival, Fielding, while we place both far above any of their successors in the same line of fictitious composition. Perhaps no books ever written excited such peals of inextinguishable laughter as those of Smollett." *********************** TITLE : Select Works of Tobias Smollett (Two Volumes in One). / AUTHOR : Tobias Smollett (1721 - 1771). / INCLUDES : A Memoir of the Life and Writings of the Author by Sir Walter Scott. / ILLUSTRATOR : George Cruikshank. / IMPRINT : Stringer & Townsend. / PLACE : 222 Broadway, New York. / DATE : No date [ but 1853 as per contemporary advertising in other volumes ]. / EDITION : Reprint (Publisher's statement : New Edition). / SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES : Two volumes bound as one. // Cloth-bound, hollow-back hardcover; Contains a frontispiece and 15 plate illustrations; 973 pages; approximately 5 1/2" x 9" x 2 1/4" (fat octavo); dark brown cloth with tile and decorative embellishments stamped in gold on spine; boards are treated with a series of cryptic decorations stamped in blind, around which extends a simple triple line border also stamped in blind. ************************** CONDITION - GOOD - A volume that has certainly been read and shows considerable wear on its exterior, with the following noted: EXTERIOR - Clean with the following noted: the boards exhibit moderate surface rub and abrasion and as well have various small scattered sots ; corner tips are bumped with attendant splitting of cloth; spine extremities are compressed and frayed; the cloth over the joints is split, front and rear; page edges are age-toned and display foxing and various small spots and smudges, but are basically clean. / BINDING - Well read volume - the text block sits a bit laxly in the case, although no leaves are detached or loose. / INTERIOR - Clean a.
