SKETCHES BY SEYMOUR
PART THREE
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 byH. Wallis from sketches by Seymour." The printed book appears to be a compilation of fivesmaller volumes. From the confused chapter titles the reader may well suspect the printermixed up the order of the chapters. The complete book in thisdigital edition is split into five smaller volumes—the individual volumesare 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 punspopular in the early 1800's—and is mercifully short. No author isgiven credit for the text though the section titled, "The Autobiographyof Andrew Mullins" may give us at least his pen-name.
