Sobre este artículo
This is a perfect copy of The Expedition of Humphry Clinker, the classic comedic novel written by the Scottish writer Tobias Smollett (1721-1771). It is about a stableman who travels to the social hot spots of Britain in the service of an unpleasant family. It was published in 1771; it is Smollett's last and funniest novel.
This copy was published by Thomas Nelson, Edinburgh, in 1912. Navy blue leatherette with brilliant gold lettering on the spine. 4 1/4" x 6 1/4". 453 unadorned pages.
The original owner printed her name on the front endpaper. But there is no evidence that she read it. It's in mint condition--pristine.
Sinopsis
The Expedition of Humphry Clinker was the last of the picaresque novels of Tobias Smollett, and is considered by many to be his best and funniest work. Published in London on 17 June 1771, it is an epistolary novel, presented in the form of letters written by six different characters: Matthew Bramble, a Welsh Squire; his sister Tabitha; their niece and nephew, Jery and Lydia Melford; Tabitha's maid Winifred Jenkins; and Lydia's suitor, Wilson.
