Ascanius; or, the Young Adventurer

You are about to read one of the most amazing books ever written. This book remained in print from 1746 until at least 1890 and went through no fewer than twenty-one editions as observed in "Notes and Queries - 1923 s12-XII: 172" by P. J. ANDERSON donated by William MacBean to the University of Aberdeen. Five more were noted by Dr. Blaikie and two more found in the British museum. It was even reprinted in 1974 and attributed to John Burton as part of the "Flowering of the Novel" series.

This project came about after I found this book in the attic of a priest's manse in Fyvie, Aberdeenshire in Scotland in 1978. I now have fifteen copies, three of which are 1746 first editions (Two Smith and one Johnston) and two in French.
