London : Macmillan, 1892. Cloth. Near Fine. 11" by 7.5". Hugh Thomson. An illustrated anthology of the Spectator's series on this archetypal English gentleman. An English squire of Queen Anne's reign, Sir Roger exemplified the values of an old country gentleman, and was portrayed as lovable but somewhat ridiculous ('rather beloved than esteemed') (Spectator no. 2), making his Tory politics seem harmless and silly. He was said to be the grandson of the man who invented the dance of the same name. The work was first published in 1886. This is the third edition.
