THE VICAR OF WAKEFIELD;
A Tale. By Oliver Goldsmith.
“We believe that it was old Mr. Newbery, the predecessor, in St. Paul’s Church-yard, of Messrs. Grant and Griffith, who first published this story. Mr. Absolon’s graphic sketches add greatly to the interest of the volume: altogether, it is as pretty an edition of the ‘Vicar’ as we have seen. Mrs. Primrose herself would consider it ‘well dressed.’”—Art Journal.
“This tale has long been a favourite subject with our artists; but we have never seen any designs more pleasing or more truthful than these.”—Gentleman's Magazine.
“A delightful edition of one of the most delightful of works: the fine old type and thick paper make this volume attractive to any lover of books.”—Edinburgh Guardian.
“This edition will find favour in the eyes of all those who admire this master-piece of Goldsmith’s easy and graceful pen.”—Notes and Queries.
