5 vols. 8vo. Contemporary tree-calf, smooth spines with complimenting red and green morocco labels and gilt decoration. Engraved portrait frontispiece of Smollett. Joints just starting but still holding firm, lightly rubbed along extremities, contents clean and unmarked, generally a very good set in handsome tree-calf bindings. Tobias George Smollett (1721 1771) was a Scottish novelist, surgeon, critic and playwright. He was best known for picaresque novels such as The Adventures of Roderick Random (1748), The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle (1751) and The Expedition of Humphry Clinker (1771), which influenced later novelists, including Charles Dickens. In fourteen months from 1755 to 1757 Smollett wrote his four-volume Complete History of England, making him one of the most distinguished literary men in London; he considered it to be his major work.
