THE WORKS OF HENRY FIELDING EDITED BY GEORGE SAINTSBURY IN TWELVE VOLUMES
VOL. II. JOSEPH ANDREWS
CONTENTS
BOOK II.—continued.
CHAPTER XIV. An interview between parson Adams and parson Trulliber. CHAPTER XV. An adventure, the consequence of a new instance which parson Adams gave of his forgetfulness. CHAPTER XVI. 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. CHAPTER XVII. 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.
CHAPTER I. Matter prefatory in praise of biography. CHAPTER II. A night scene, wherein several wonderful adventures befel Adams and his fellow-travellers. CHAPTER III. In which the gentleman relates the history of his life. CHAPTER IV. A description of Mr Wilson's way of living. The tragical adventure of the dog, and other grave matters. CHAPTER V. A disputation on schools held on the road between Mr Abraham Adams and Joseph; and a discovery not unwelcome to them both. CHAPTER VI. Moral reflections by Joseph Andrews; with the hunting adventure, and parson Adams's miraculous escape. CHAPTER VII. A scene of roasting, very nicely adapted to the present taste and times. CHAPTER VIII. Which some readers will think too short and others too long. CHAPTER IX. Containing as surprizing and bloody adventures as can be found in this or perhaps any other authentic history. CHAPTER X. A discourse between the poet and the player; of no other use in this history but to divert the reader. CHAPTER XI. Containing the exhortations of parson Adams to his friend in affliction; calculated for the instruction and improvement of the reader. CHAPTER XII. More adventures, which we hope will as much please as surprize the reader. CHAPTER XIII. A curious dialogue which passed between Mr Abraham Adams and Mr Peter Pounce, better worth reading than all the works of Colley Cibber and many others.
BOOK IV.
CHAPTER I. The arrival of Lady Booby and the rest at Booby-hall. CHAPTER II. A dialogue between Mr Abraham Adams and the Lady Booby. CHAPTER III. What passed between the lady and lawyer Scout. CHAPTE
