About This Item
1794 Scottish Literature Adventures of Peregrine Pickle by Tobias Smollett 4v
Tobias Smollett, a well-known 18th-century Scottish writer, was best-known for his translations and editions of famous works such as 'Don Quixote', 'Gil Blas', and Hume's "History of England". However, he did write a curious picaresque novel "The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle" which proved to be quote popular throughout the mid-18th-century. This work follows the humorous experiences of the title character noting his bad luck, successes, and misfortunes.
This 1794 edition was published in London by Cooke in four small tomes.
