Excerpt from Bibliographical Notes on a Collection of Editions of the Book Known as "Puckle's Club" From the Library of a Member of the Rowfant Club, as Shown at the Club House, March, 1896
N the fascinating but still-to-be-written Romance of Bibliography, there could be no more curious chapter than the story of Puckle's Club. That a book, meritorious, indeed, in its intention, but with out sufficient distinction to secure a permanent place in the annals of English Literature, should be pub lished in the same year as the Spectator, and should run through seven editions before the middle of the century, is perhaps not in itself unexampled. But that, after its decease in the last century, it should have been revived again early in this as an illus trated volume which forms an important link in the history of the revival of wood-engraving, is certainly a notable thing. It is, however, more notable still that a something both in the work and the author should continue to attract the attention of the book lover. For several years Mr. G. Steinman Stein man, of Croydon, devoted much patient investigation to Puckle's biography, the results of which he em bodied in 1872 in a privately printed and very rare tract of twenty pages entitled The Author of 'the.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, often humorously referred to as âthe manual for the clubbable man,â belongs to a body of work that was instrumental in the resurgence of the English essay during the 18th century. Originally written by the author as two separate pamphlets that discussed the economy of England, the final version has become part of literary history, from its initial publication in 1711 to the celebrated and enjoyable reprint, illustrated by John Thurston and published in 1817 with a preface by S. W. Singer. Within the dialogue, the author espouses his belief in the basic decency of mankind when not misled by "vices and follies" and gives his reader insights to avoid these follies and their consequences. Throughout the text, a series of characters are discussed, including the antiquary, critic, detractor, gamester, imposter, and many others, all types recognisable to any reader of literature or observer of humanity. The book's thematic depth is based on the central idea that man, though flawed, should live a balanced, temperate life, freely questioning authority and avoiding extremes.
