| "Within the circle of its claims and pretensions, a more entirely satisfactory delightful poem than 'The Deserted Village' was probably never written [and] there are few who have not wished to rate it higher than poetry of yet higher genius" - from "The Life and Times of Oliver Goldsmith " by John Forster. |
| Condition: |
| Soiling and slight darkening to covers, corners bumped and showing, foxing to bottom and fore edge sides of page edges; both hinges split through with covers therefore separate from contents but repairable; still a very good copy. |
