Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Miscellaneous Works of Tobias Smollett, M.D, Vol. 2 of 6: With Memoirs of His Life and Writings, Containing the Adventures of Peregrine Pickle, Part I At length ´Peregrine Pickle´ makes his appearance in a new edition, in spite of all the art and industry that were used to stifle him in the birth by certain booksellers and others, who were at uncommon pains to misrepresent the work, and calumniate the author. The performance was decried as an immoral piece, and a scurrilous libel; the author was charged with having defamed the characters of particular persons, to whom lie lay under considerable obligations; and some formidable critics declared that the book was void of humour, character, and sentiment. These charges, had they been supported by proof, would have certainly damned the writer and all his works; and even, unsupported as they were, had an unfavourable effect with the public; but, luckily for him, his real character was not unknown, and some readers were determined to judge for themselves, rather than trust implicitly to the allegations of his enemies. The book was found not altogether unworthy of their recommendation: a very large impression has been sold in England; another was bought up in a neighbouring kingdom; the work has been translated into the French language; and the demand for the original lately increased in England.
