SKETCHES BY SEYMOUR
COMPLETE
EBOOK EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION:
“Sketches by Seymour” was published in various versions about 1836.
The copy used for this PG edition has no date and was published by
Thomas Fry, London. Some of the 90 plates note only Seymour's name,
many are inscribed “Engravings by H. Wallis from sketches by Seymour.”
The printed book appears to be a compilation of five smaller volumes.
From the confused chapter titles the reader may well suspect the printer
mixed up the order of the chapters. The complete book in this digital
edition is split into five smaller volumes--the individual volumes are
of more manageable size than the 7mb complete version.
The importance of this collection is in the engravings. The text is
often mundane, is full of conundrums and puns popular in the early
1800's--and is mercifully short. No author is given credit for the
text though the section titled, “The Autobiography of Andrew Mullins”
may give us at least his pen-name.
