About this Item
224pp. With five heliogravure plates and numerous illustrations in the text by H. M. Paget. Original publisher's decorative green cloth, A.E.G. Lightly rubbed, spine dulled. Occasional spotting, plates foxed. The first Paget illustrated edition of Anglo-Irish author Oliver Goldsmith's (1730-1774) 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. Size: 8vo.
