hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Bradbury & Evans; and Chapman & Hall, 1848 Formatting: 8vo, pp. xvii, [3], 704. Condition Report: Very Good. Bound in the publisher's original morocco-grained green cloth, featuring elaborate blind-stamped borders and bright gilt portrait vignettes of Oliver Goldsmith to the upper and lower boards. As is typical of green Victorian cloth, the spine has uniformly sunned to a warm tan, though the gilt titling and compartmental decorations remain fully legible. There is minor rubbing to the spine ends and corner tips, but the boards are remarkably clean, and the structural integrity of the binding is excellent with no cracking to the joints. All edges are brightly gilt. Internally, the text block is square and securely seated. The pages remain generally crisp and clean, showing only occasional instances of mild, isolated foxing characteristic of paper from this era. An attractive, well-preserved survivor in its original state. Catalogue Note: First edition of John Forster's definitive 19th-century biography of Oliver Goldsmith. The work opens with a printed dedication to Forster's intimate friend and frequent collaborator, Charles Dickens. This first printing is especially desirable when retained in its original publisher's cloth, as many contemporary copies were subsequently rebound in leather. The text is richly enhanced by numerous wood-engraved illustrations supplied by an array of prominent Victorian artists. While copies in original cloth do appear on the open market, they are frequently compromised by failed hinges and severe wear; copies retaining such firm internal bindings and unoxidized board gilt are increasingly uncommon. A captivating 19th-century portrait of Oliver Goldsmith, the Irish novelist, playwright, and poet whose works, most notablyÂThe Vicar of Wakefield and She Stoops to Conquer,Âleft an indelible mark on English literature. Authored by the prominent critic, historian, and pseudo-literary agent John Forster, this comprehensive biography traces Goldsmith's vibrant and often turbulent life. From his early struggles with poverty and aimless wandering across Europe to his eventual triumph as a central figure in Samuel Johnson's elite literary circle, Forster provides a deeply sympathetic, meticulously researched account of a flawed but brilliant literary giant. John Leech, Richard Doyle, Clarkson Stanfield (illustrator).…
