    Description

    Very Scarce

    Tear with substantial loss to the title page, meaning the title is partially obscured. Title taken from the spine. Despite the damage to the title page, the volume remains a charming example of the literary talents of the 18th century poet and author, Tobias Smollett. Tobias Smollett was a Scottish poet and author. His best known novels include The Adventures of Roderick Random and The Expedition of Humphry Clinker. Known prodominantly for his prose and poetry, the work offers an example of Smollett's theatrical work, the tragic play, The Regicide. The play itself was never performed on-stage.
