'This is an important and useful edition, including a mass of hard-to-find commentary in facsimile form. The three volumes are scrupulously edited with introductions and commentaries that are themselves significant contributions to scholarship on the eighteenth-century novel.' The Years Work in English Studies 'fascinating reading...I am much humbled by the hard work, erudition, and enthusiasm of all the contributors to these volumes, and I am sure that other readers will join me in gratitude for having these elusive documents made available in an authentic format.'
