Top edge gilt, others uncut. Spines uniformly sunned to brown. A near fine set. Oliver Goldsmith (1731-1774), Irish-born English poet, playwright, and novelist. "His literary fame began with The Traveller (1764), a didactic poem surveying national modes of happiness, which was praised by Samuel Johnson and other members of his famous Literary Club. His major works include An Enquiry into the Present State of Polite Learning in Europe (1759), a prose essay attributing the decline of polite learning to the inferiority of poets; The Bee (1759), a periodical containing perhaps his most famous tales, â Reverie at the Boar's Head Tavern' (1760) and â Asem, An Eastern Tale' (1759); The Citizen of the World [1762], a satiric epistolary novel in imitation of Montesquieu's Lettres Persanes (1721); The Vicar of Wakefield [1766], a novel; The Deserted Village [1770], a poem; and The Good Natur'd Man [1768] and She Stoops to Conquer [1773], comedies. A beloved member of Johnson's circle, he was noted for his comic verbal faux-pas, though it seems that Goldsmith buffooned purposely on occasion without his friends ever suspecting it. At the end of his life he retorted to their raillery in a series of brilliant caricatures, The Retaliation (1774)" (Benét's Reader's Encyclopedia).
