About this Item
Description:
Two volumes, 12mo, pp. [iv], viii, 262; [iv], 315; an attractive copy in contemporary tree calf, spines with red and green morocco labels, lightly rubbed. Second edition: this novel had been first published in 1753, and was one of Smollett's few failures, although there was a Dublin edition, and a piracy the same year. There is said to be another 'second edition' published by Johnston in 1760: that edition is listed in ESTC (T228100) in a single copy, at the Rylands and I have to say that its genuineness seems most unlikely. I wonder if it could be a copy whose imprint has been altered by someone at a later date. Seller Inventory # 28002
