THE WORKS OF HENRY FIELDING EDITED BY GEORGE SAINTSBURY IN TWELVE VOLUMES VOL. II. JOSEPH ANDREWS VOL. II. CONTENTS _An interview between parson Adams and parson Trulliber._ _An adventure, the consequence of a new instance which parson Adams gave of his forgetfulness._ _A very curious adventure, in which Mr Adams gave a much greater instance of the honest simplicity of his heart, than of his experience in the ways of this world._ _A dialogue between Mr Abraham Adams and his host, which, by the disagreement in their opinions, seemed to threaten an unlucky catastrophe, had it not been timely prevented by the return of the lovers._ BOOK III. _Matter prefatory in praise of biography._ _A night scene, wherein several wonderful adventures befel Adams and his fellow-travellers._ _In which the gentleman relates the history of his life._ _A description of Mr Wilson's way of living. The tragical adventure of the dog, and other grave matters._ _A disputation on schools held on the road between Mr Abraham Adams and Joseph; and a discovery not unwelcome to them both._ _Moral reflections by Joseph Andrews; with the hunting adventure, and parson Adams's miraculous escape._ _A scene of roasting, very nicely adapted to the present taste and times._ _Which some readers will think too short and others too long._ _Containing as surprizing and bloody adventures as can be found in this or perhaps any other authentic history._ _A discourse between the poet and the player; of no other use in this history but to divert the reader._ _Containing the exhortations of parson Adams to his friend in affliction; calculated for the instruction and improvement of the reader._ _More adventures, which we hope will as much please as surprize the reader._ CHAPTER XIII. Peter Pounce, better worth reading than all the works of Colley Cibber and many others._ BOOK IV. _The arrival of Lady Booby and the rest at Booby-hall._ _A dialogue between Mr Abraham Adams and the Lady Booby._ _What passed between the lady and lawyer Scout._ _A short chapter, but very full of matter; particularly the arrival of Mr Booby and his lady._ _Containing justice business; curious precedents of depositions, and other matters necessary to be perused by all justices of the peace and their clerks._ _Of which you are desired to read no more than you like._ _Philosophical reflections, the like not to be found in any light French romance. Mr Booby's grave advice to Joseph, and Fanny's encounter with a beau._ _A discourse which happened between Mr Adams, Mrs Adams, Joseph, and Fanny, with some behaviour of Mr Adams which will be called by some few readers very low, absurd, and unnatural._ _A visit which the polite Lady Booby and her polite friend paid to the parson._ _The history of two friends, which may afford an useful lesson to all those persons who happen to take up their residence in married families._ _In which the history is continued._ _Where the good-natured reader will see something which will give him no great pleasure._ _The history, returning to the Lady Booby, gives some account of the terrible conflict in her breast between love and pride, with what happened on the present discovery._ _Containing several curious night-adventures, in which Mr Adams fell into many hair-breadth scapes, partly owing to his goodness, and partly to his inadvertency._ |
