SCARCE FIRST EDITION OF TOBIAS SMOLLETT'S LAST NOVEL published only a few months before he died, and decidedly his crowning achievement (Oxford Companion to English Lit.). Smollett s passion for all things controversial did not often endear him to the literary and fashionable world, nevertheless his novels were always successful. His avowed purpose in writing was to arouse generous indignation against cruelty and injustice. Seller Inventory # 32181
