Hardcover. Gordon Ross (illustrator). "The Sir Roger De Coverley Papers" were originally written by Joseph Addison, Richard Steele, and Eustace Budgell for "The Spectator" in London 1711 - 1712. This Heritage Press reprint edition, subsequent to the Limited Editions Club issue, published in New York in 1945, includes the Prefatory Notes by William Makepeace Thackeray, and the color illustrations of Gordon Ross. It's a very handsome book , and the illustrations help to illuminate the 18th century humor found in each of the pieces which entail the mildly satiric stories of the fictional Sir Roger De Coverley. Collected together they present an episodic romp through the landed gentry of the British 18th century. I'm sure they were much appreciated then, but possibly even more so collected together in this modern format, with such amusingly handsome illustrations, and, of course, we can all enjoy the perceptive words of Thackeray to lead it all.

VERY INTERESTING DETAILED BOOK. TIGHT AND CLEAN INSIDE. The History of Pendennis: His Fortunes and Misfortunes, His Friends and His Greatest Enemy (184850) is a novel by the English author William Makepeace Thackeray. It is set in 19th-century England, particularly in London. The main hero is a young English gentleman Arthur Pendennis, who is born in the country and sets out for London to seek his place in life and society. The novel took two years for Thackeray to write and, in line with other Thackeray's works, most notably Vanity Fair, it offers an insightful and satiric picture of human character and aristocratic society. The characters include the snobbish social hanger-on Major Pendennis and the tipsy Captain Costigan. Miss Amory and Sir Francis Clavering are somewhat reminiscent of Becky Sharp and Sir Pitt from Vanity Fair. William Makepeace Thackeray ( 18 July 1811 24 December 1863) was an English novelist, author and illustrator, who was born in India. He is known for his satirical works, particularly his 1848 novel Vanity Fair, a panoramic portrait of British society, and the 1844 novel The Luck of Barry Lyndon, which was adapted for a 1975 film by Stanley Kubrick.
