Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Book Club Edition. "The Sir Roger De Coverley Papers" were originally written by Joseph Addison, Richard Steele, and Eustace Budgell for "The Spectator" in London 1711 - 1712. This Heritage Press reprint edition, subsequent to the Limited Editions Club issue, published in New York in 1945, includes the Prefatory Notes by William Makepeace Thackeray, and the color illustrations of Gordon Ross. It's a very handsome book , and the illustrations help to illuminate the 18th century humor found in each of the pieces which entail the mildly satiric stories of the fictional Sir Roger De Coverley. Collected together they present an episodic romp through the landed gentry of the British 18th century. I'm sure they were much appreciated then, but possibly even more so collected together in this modern format, with such amusingly handsome illustrations, and, of course, we can all enjoy the perceptive words of Thackeray to lead it all.
