The vicar of Wakefield, and other works ... With introduction notes and a life of Oliver Goldsmith, by John Francis Waller
An 1885 London collected edition of Oliver Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield, plays, poems and essays, edited with notes and a biography by John Francis Waller for Victorian family readers. The 162 wood engravings stage 18th-century characters in grouped conversation scenes — drawing rooms, inns, garden terraces, a wedding party — with fan-carrying women in hooped gowns, men in frock coats, and captions quoting the dialogue; useful for period costume, gesture, and interior detail.
