The Adventures of Jonathan Corncob

The Adventures of Jonathan Corncob

John Anderson, 1976

Description

In this satirical novel, first published in 1787 in England and now published for the first time in this country, we tried to maintain the flavor of the original in both the typographic layout and in the illustrations, which add their own humor to that of the text.
