VERY HANDSOME FIRST EDITION AND FIRST ISSUE OF A CORNERSTONE WORK IN LITERATURE. An unusually attractive set of Fielding’s classic story.<br> ‘Tom Jones’ is not only generally regarded as Fielding’s greatest work but is one of the first and most influential English novels. Coleridge acknowledged it as having one of the three great plots of all literature. Although a great success the book drew criticism from many including Dr. Johnson for the hero’s high-spirited and varied sexual escapades.<br> This copy with the fine provenance of Beverly Chew. The death of Beverly Chew in 1924 marked the end of a group of American book-collectors who may never be replaced. The influence of such men as Robert Hoe William L. Andrews Theodore DeVinne S. P. Avery Charles B. Foote E. H. Holden and Beverly Chew on the collecting world had been great and their consistent stand for all that is best in book-building had helped to mould American standards in such matters. Chew was the last of that group to leave the world and with him was gone a wealth of literary and bibliographical knowledge an enthusiastic and never-failing interest in all that pertains to books a kindly and courteous willingness to help younger seekers after truth and to share his unequaled knowledge of both the insides and outsides of books. for A.
