THE DESERTED VILLAGE
By Oliver Goldsmith
Illustrated by the Etching Club
New York: D. Appleton And Co. Broadway
MDCCCLVII
The Illustrations in this Volume are copied, with permission, from a series of Etchings published some years since by the "Etching Club." Only a few impressions of that work were printed, the copper-plates were destroyed, and the book, except in a very expensive form, has long been unattainable. Great care has been taken to render the present Wood-blocks as like the original Etchings as the different methods of engraving will allow.
