*,* This singularly entertaining work way be described as tht first English 



novel, properly so called. The same air of reality pervades it as that which gives 



such a char-in to the stories written by Defoe half a century later. The interest 



never flags for a moment, from the first chapter to the last. 



As a picture of the manners of the period, two hundred years ago, in England, 

 among the various grades of society through which the hero passes in the course of 

 his extraordinary adventures, and among gipsies, beggars, thieves, (yc., the book is 

 invaluable to students. 



The earlier portion of the book was considerably altered in later editions by 

 Francis Kirkman. While preserving all the additions made by that writer, most of 

 the omitted passages (sometimes among the most characteristic in the book) have been. 

 restored from the earliest edition, which is of the very greatest rarity, most of the 

 copies having been destroyed, the year after its pitblication, in the Great Fire of 

 London. 



The later edition and the Second Part are of almost equal rarity. Owing to its 

 wonderful run of popularity, the book has been so well read and well thumbed, that 

 perfect copies are very seldom to be met with, and are then only to be obtained at an 

 extravagantly high price. The present reprint may therefore be useful and accept- 

 able to students of Early English Literature.
