Item Details
Description
FIELDING, Henry (1707-1754). Amelia. London: Printed for A. Millar, 1752.

4 volumes, 12mo (186 x 99 mm). (Some very light spotting or staining.) Contemporary calf-backed boards (overall wear, joints broken, old repairs, lacking lettering-pieces); modern cloth slipcase.  

FIRST EDITION of Fielding's last novel. Though two impressions of the first edition were printed a month apart, there are no recorded distinguishing characteristics between them. Samuel Johnson remarked on the publication of Fielding's last novel that it was "perhaps the only book, which being printed off betimes one morning, a new edition was called for before night." Cross III, p. 321; ESTC T89846; Rothschild 853.
