179433458London: for A. Law W. Millar and R. Martin 1794. 4 volumes.

Small 8vo bound in three-quarter polished calf over cloth covered boards the spines with raised band gilt lettering and tooling marbled endpapers. ix 261; vi 212; vi 240; vi 227pp. A handsome little set of this literary classic all very sound and sturdy 3 of the lettering labels off but still an attractive set. A HANDSOME AND WELL PRESERVED SET OF THIS 18TH CENTURY CLASSIC offered here in the best translation by Mr. Smollett who was also renown for his translation of DON QUIXOTE and for his own masterful works of literature and travel.<br> Gil Blas is related to Le Sage's other well known play Turcaret. In both works Le Sage uses such things as witty valets in the service of thieving masters women of questionable morals cuckolded yet happy husbands gourmands ridiculous poets false savants and dangerously ignorant doctors to make his point. Each class and each occupation becomes an archetype. The work is universal while also being decidedly French.<br> It is thanks to Smollett that Gil Blas had such an impact on the English-speaking nations. The work was referred to by authors such as Jonathan Swift Oliver Wendell Holmes Wilkie Collins and Nathaniel Hawthorne. It is considered a primary model to Twain for 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' and Charles Dickens relates the story of Gil Blas to Steerforth and Traddles in David Copperfield. for A. Law, W.

A fine copy bound in contemporary mottled calf gilt back trifle rubbed. Purporting to be the authentic memoirs of the soldier adventurer and privateer Beauchêne after the manuscript communicated by his widow to Lesage but probably greatly amplified and modified by the latter. Although the authenticity of the memoirs has been disputed there is no doubt as to the real historical existence of the swashbuckling hero who was born near Montreal. "The Chevalier de Beauchêne Indian Scout and pirate ranged over large portions of North America. At one point he set out for Detroit with Cadillac who when he discovered that Beachêne was carrying too much eau-de-vie returned the Chevalier to Montreal and prison." Lande The publisher's preface states that Beauchêne having amassed a small fortune in privateering went to France where he squandered it all and was killed in a brawl in Tours. His death certificate dated Dec. 11 1731 has in fact been found in the parish registers of that city. TPL 172. Vlach 467. Dionne II 399n. Gagnon I 2091n.
