About the Item

A beautifully bound, limited edition of this complete set of twelve collected works of Henry Fielding, with an introduction by Edmund Gosse. A Limited Edition set, one of only seven-hundred-and-fifty copies published. Wonderfully bound in red half calf with cloth boards. Complete in twelve volumes. The collected works of English writer and dramatist, Henry Fielding, also remembered for founding the first intermittently funded and full-time police force; his writing was generally satirical and comedic by nature. This library set includes some of his most famous works, including 'The History of Tom Jones', first published in 1749 and hailed as being one of the first English books to be described as a novel. With an introduction by English poet and author, Edmund Gosse. This set is comprised of the following: Volume I, II and III contain 'The Adventures of Joseph Andrews and His Friend Mr. Abraham Adams'. Volume IV, V and VI contain 'The History of Tom Jones: A Foundling'. Volume VII, VIII and IX contain 'Amelia'. Volume X contains 'The Life of Mr. Jonathan Wild The Great'. Volume XI and XII contain 'Miscellanies'. Each volume is illustrated with an engraved frontispiece. Collated, complete. Bound in half calf with cloth boards. Externally, lovely, with light bumping and the occasional mark, mainly to the rear boards of volume I and V. One small tear to the cloth of the front board of volume VIII. Internally, firmly bound.
