Originally published in 1928, this book contains a collection of letters by the playwright and author Oliver Goldmith, author of She Stoops to Conquer and The Vicar of Wakefield, written between 1752 and 1774. Balderston includes letters which only exist in a fragmentary form, and includes doubtful and forged letters in appendices at the end. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Goldsmith's life and work.
