GOLDSMITH, Oliver.

GOLDSMITH, Oliver.

The Works of Oliver Goldsmith.

WORKS OF OLIVER GOLDSMITH
London: John Murray, 1854.
4 vols., 8vo (9"). Half green morocco, by KELLY & SONS. Gilt raised bands, fine gilt panels, titles and top edge. Engraved half-titles.
A handsome set of four volumes in a 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.
