Old Christmas gift inscription in in fountain pen to ffep., dated 1895.**The story is a series of vignettes by a fictional visitor to the country estates of Sir Roger de Coverley, Knight. This engaging 18th century gentleman, a seeming paragon among men, engages in country pursuits, shows off his ancestor portraits, presides over the local church, dispenses justice and the like. **Author JOSEPH ADDISON (1672-1719), wrote essays for the "The Tatler," and established "The Spectator" with his friend Richard Steele in 1709. **Irish ARTIST HUGH THOMSON (1860-1920) is considered among the top tier of Victorian book illustrators. He arrived in London after working at publishers Marcus Ward and Company, Belfast where he trained under the artist John Vinycomb, M.R.I.A. He would go on to illustrate over 200 books, among them works by Dickens, Jane Austen and George Eliot, Thackeray and J.M. Barrie. His work on the design for Mrs. Gaskell's 1891 edition of "Cranford" gave this style of "extra" decorated crown 8vo gift book it's name, and there followed a number of derivative editions by other publishers.
