WORKS OF OLIVER GOLDSMITH
London: John Murray, 1854.
4 vols., 8vo (9"). A fine set with gilt raised bands, elegant gilt panels and twin red and green labels. The gilt embossed stamp device of Rugby School on the upper boards. Prize inscription.
A fine set in an elegant contemporary binding. Goldsmith was an exceptional writer, who in the words of Dr. Johnson "left scarcely any kind of writing untouched and who touched nothing that he did not adorn". The satirical wit of She Stoops to Conquer and ironic sentimentality of his novel The Vicar of Wakefield justly enjoy enduring critical and popular success.
