On offer is a rare antique copy of The Vicar of Wakefield featuring the Latin phrase Sperate Miseri Cavete Felices to the title page. Originally written by Oliver Goldsmith and first published in the 18th Century, The Vicar of Wakefield became one of the most widely read and influential English novels of its time, celebrated for its moral storytelling and portrayal of rural family life.

This example is bound in a traditional marbled board binding with leather spine and retains excellent period character throughout. While the exact publication date is unknown due to missing information pages, the book is unquestionably an early antique edition. It appears substantially complete, although it may possibly be lacking an early page containing publisher or date details.

Condition is consistent with age and use. Some pages show darkening and age related marks, however the book remains a rare and original antique volume with strong display and collector appeal. The book measures approximately 7 by 4.25 inches.

A fine antique copy of The Vicar of Wakefield that would suit collectors of early English literature and decorative antique books.
