Doctor Syntax, one of the most popular characters in nineteenth-century English fiction, made his public debut in May 1809 in the first issue of Poetical Magazine. The magazine featured its first installment of the adventures and misadventures of this eccentric traveler and pedantic cleric, illustrated with aquatint drawings by the prolific caricaturist and comic artist, Thomas Rowlandson. The last reprint of Rowlandson's own work was in 1868, and since then the series has never been reproduced in its entirety. This is the first book to include all the illustrations to the three Tours of Doctor Syntax.
