BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE AND ACKNOWLEGDEMENTS

The text of this version is taken from a copy described on the title page as 

The Adventures of Gil Blas by A.R. LeSage.
Translated from the French by Tobias Smollett
with an introduction by William Morton Fullerton.
George Routledge & Sons [1912]

However the translation is not by Smollet; it is a later translation by B.H. Malkin, first published in 1809.  We are grateful to KT Schwarz for pointing this out to us, with further bibliographic details. See here for their account of this.  

We wish to acknowledge the courtesy and helpfulness of Ms. Sally Sweet of ITPS and of Marion Mainwaring, biographer and literary executor of W. Morton Fullerton, in clearing copyright for this publication.
