Description:
London, Manchester, Liverpool, & Hull: Clarke and Co., Jones, Rawson and Rodford, Vernor and Hood, 1803. Although "The Vicar" is classic English literature, Ireland claims its author (1728-1774) as one of their own. Goldsmith's friend Samuel Johnson arranged for its initial publication, yielding sixty pounds to the destitute author. It became immensely popular as a "sentimental" novel, though Quercus tends to the Celtic view that it is rather exquisite satire. This is a lovely, small, early edition, in Very Good Plus to Near Fine condition. Full leather binding; gilt ruling on the spine, with a red spine label. Clean text; 224 pages. The text is exceptionally bright and supple. There is a contemporary (1806) previous-owner signature at the top of the Title Page. Mild bumping; the smooth calf remains nicely polished. Size: 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall. Reprint.. Full-Leather. Very Good Plus/No Jacket.

Description:
Gainsborough: Stereotyped for, and printed and sold by, Henry Mozley, 1812. [4], 199pp, [1]. With eight plates. Later gilt-tooled brown half-morocco, tooled in gilt and blind, brown cloth boards. Lightly rubbed and marked. Bookplate of Alfred Jerome Brown to FEP, very occasional light spotting. A provincially published, stereotyped edition, of Anglo-Irish author Oliver Goldsmith's (1728?-1774) most renowned work. First published in 1766, The Vicar of Wakefield would become one of the defining novels of the eighteenth-century. Sadly the author was to profit little from the sensational success of the work, as Samuel Johnson had sold the rights for £60 in order to relieve Goldsmith from the pursuit of debtors. . Stereotype edition. 12mo.
