Sobre este item
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.
Sinopse
