They were popular at the time, not particularly rare today but a nice addition to any library and transportable in size to pull out and read anywhere.
The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith was first published in 1766. It was a very popular English novel. The Vicar lives a wealthy life due to an inheritance. Suddenly, on the eve of his son's wedding, the Vicar loses all his money to his merchant investor who disappears from town. Drastic changes take place along with unfortunate events that will change the life of the characters and speak to the fleeting nature of wealth, privilege, and life itself.
