Smollett, Tobias.
THE ADVENTURES OF PEREGRINE PICKLE. In Which is Included Memoirs of a Lady of Quality. With an Introduction by G.K. Chesterton and Illustrations by John Austen.
Two Volumes. pp. xxiii, 782 (1) + Plates in color. Small folios. Designed, printed, and bound (in full green linen, gold stamped) by John Johnson, at the Oxford University Press; set in Monotype Bell; on William Nash Special paper. Dust jackets and slipcase show some soiling and wear. Number 413 of an edition limited to only 1500 copies, signed by the artist. In the autumn of 1750 Smollett set out for Paris in order to collect material for another novel. The result of the tour was The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle, published in 1751. In some respects, this is the most remarkable of Smollett's novels; it is, also, the longest, and it maintains its vivacity and vigour throughout. Peregrine is a scoundrel with a very moderate sense of shame; he is also, in his elegant and rather witty way, a bully of the most refined cruelty, who is not content to feast on others' folly, but likes to pay for the feast with all kinds of insult and annoyance. It is still a fun read today. A handsomely produced edition. These would make a great gift. W96
