On offer are two original 18th century volumes of The Adventurer by John Hawkesworth, printed in London in 1793. These are Volumes 1 and 2, produced on original laid paper and bound in period leather boards, representing an authentic late 18th century literary set.

John Hawkesworth was an English essayist and editor, best known for his moral and literary essays first published in the mid 18th century. The Adventurer followed in the tradition of earlier periodicals and reflects the intellectual and social concerns of Georgian Britain. These volumes retain their original format and materials, offering clear historical and bibliographic interest despite their faults.

Both books have condition issues consistent with age and use. Volume 1 has a loose front board. Volume 2 has loose front and back boards and is missing the front engraving page. An honest and original example of 18th century English literature, suitable for collectors, researchers, or restoration.
