Hardcover. pp. 454, 448. 12mo. Lovely two volume set bound in full tan polished calf. This is a complete set in itself, issued as part of 'The Novelist's Library', edited by Thomas Roscoe, and with illustrations by George Cruikshank. Titles from the set are usually encountered bound in cloth: our offering is most attractively bo…und in full polished calf, with a heavily-ornamented spine showing five raised bands and morocco spine labels. A frontispiece and four engravings in volume I; and a frontispiece and three engravings in volume II. All edges are marbled, as are the endpapers. The binding shows minimal wear, and the hinges are strong. Occasional foxing to text, more so from off-setting of the plates. Else in very good condition. Roscoe (1791-1871) was an English author and translator. He was educated by Dr. W. Shepherd and a private tutor, and began his career writing for local magazines and journals. During the period 1820 to 1850, he wrote a number of travel books, and several novels. He also translated into English many Italian, German and French works. 'The Novelist's Library' was issued between 1831 and 1833, and contained complete works (in English) by Cervantes, Tobias Smollett, Laurence Sterne, Oliver Goldsmith, Henry Fielding, and Daniel De Foe. Cruikshank engravings (illustrator).

Contact seller5-star seller19 volumes, crown 8vo (approx. 6½" x 4"), later half brown morocco over marbled paper-covered boards by Briggs & Wauld, t.e.g.; lightly scuffed, one gathering in Tom Jones sprung; all else very good and sound. Seventeen volumes were "illustrated by George Cruikshank, and in these there are all together seventy-four etchings by h…im. The first two volumes, "Robinson Crusoe," were not illustrated by G. Cruikshank, whose services were obtained in the endeavour to make the series a success" (Cohen, p. 196). But clearly, in this set, Robinson Crusoe is a replacement edition, as published by John Major, with 2 engraved frontispieces and 37 wood engravings in the text by Cruikshank, thereby making this set entirely illustrated by Cruikshank. Included are The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe . illustrated with numerous engravings from drawings by George Cruikshank expressly designed for this edition, London: printed at the Shakespeare Press, by W. Nicol, for John Major, Fleet Street, 1831. With 2 engraved frontispieces and 37 wood engravings in the text by Cruikshank. See Cohen 701 and Sadleir 3736a; Smollett, Tobias. The Expedition of Humphrey Clinker., London 1831. With an engraved portrait by Freeman and 4 plates etched by Cruikshank; Cohen 702; Smollett, The Adventures of Roderick Random, London, 1831.

Meadows; Cohen 710; Lesage, Alain-René, The Adventures of Gil Blas of Santillane, London, 1833. 2 volumes, with 10 etchings by Cruikshank and 2 engraved portraits by K. Meadows; Cohen 711. The Novelist's Library is thought to be the collection of novels referred to by Dickens in David Copperfield (chap. 4). "My father had left a small collection of books in a little room upstairs, to which I had access (for it adjoined my room) and which nobody in our house ever troubled. From that blessed little room, Roderick Random, Peregrine Pickle, Humphrey Clinker, Tom Jones, The Vicar of Wakefield, Don Quixote, Gil Blas and Robinson Crusoe came out, a glorious host, to keep me company. They kept alive my fancy, and my hope of something beyond that place and time.".
