Notes: Depicts Jonathan Oldbuck reading a book as he drinks tea, with two female figures, one representing his sister Griselda, also sitting at the table, and the other probably his niece Maria, standing behind. This vol. is missing in NLS copy used for entries elsewhere for this edition; the date 1871 (rather than 1870) for this vol. reflects that the EUL copy was a later reprinting.
