<B>[Laurence Sterne]. </B></I><B><I>The Sermons of Mr. Yorick.</B></I></B></I> The Fourth Edition. London: Printed for R. and J. Dodsley in Pall-Mall. 1761-1769. <BR>Fourth edition. Seven small octavo volumes. <BR><BR>Full contemporary calf, spines lettered and decorated in gilt. Front board and preliminary leaves of volume I detached but present, previous owner's bookplates in each volume. Browning to endpapers from pastedown glue. Some boards slightly worn and bowed. Sheets slightly browned in places, but still bright and supple. Altogether, a very good, handsome set of antique books. <BR><BR>Sermons by Laurence Sterne, Prebendary of York, and Vicar of Sutton on the Forest, and of Stillington near York. "...Sterne continually blurred the boundary between himself and his fiction - he cultivated his persona as 'Tristram', he named his house 'Shandy Hall' - such that 'Sterne', 'Tristram' and 'Yorick' became often interchangeable terms. Walpole wrote of 'Sterne's sentimental travels', obituaries of Sterne mourned 'Yorick' and 'Tristram'. Sterne's personal elision with 'Yorick' was particularly thoroughgoing. He had incorporated one of his own sermons into <I>Tristram Shandy</B></I>, where it appears as written by Yorick, and in 1760 he capitalized on <I>Tristram Shandy's</B></I> vogue by publishing <I>The Sermons of Mr. Yorick</B></I> ... a compilation of sermons he had written for his services in Yorkshire. It was a maneuver which brought both sales and scandal...." - Introduction to <I>A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy</B></I> by Mr. Yorick [by Laurence Sterne].<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
