Oliver Goldsmith, - Goldsmith's The Deserted Village and other poems together with She Stoops to Conquer and The Good-Natured Man.

NY, Macmillan, 1923. VG. Goldsmith is best revealed to us by the medium of that charming personality which everywhere pervades his writings. From the. moment when Goldsmith appears before us as a dancing urchin with poouting, pock-marked face, into which we wish more of his mind had been thrown, we are moved to say, as we look at his "penitential phiz," that here is a youth fated never to knit up the "ravell'd sleave of care." Like Steele he early became a "machine of pity." His incapacity of dealing with life's struggles, small-pox had marred his face and disposition, so that few felt the warmth of his smouldering fires of genius within that thickset drolly-shaped body and head. (from introduction by Whiteford) Owner name, edge wear, some writing on top fore-edge, stain at top of back fore-edge.
