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.

Booby and his lady._

CHAPTER V.
_Containing justice business; curious precedents of depositions, and
other matters necessary to be perused by all justices of the peace and
their clerks._

CHAPTER VI.
_Of which you are desired to read no more than you like._

CHAPTER VII.
_Philosophical reflections, the like not to be found in any light French
romance. Mr Booby's grave advice to Joseph, and Fanny's encounter
with a beau._

CHAPTER VIII.
_A discourse which happened between Mr Adams, Mrs Adams, Joseph,
and Fanny, with some behaviour of Mr Adams which will be called by
some few readers very low, absurd, and unnatural._

CHAPTER IX
_A visit which the polite Lady Booby and her polite friend paid to the
parson._

CHAPTER X.
_The history of two friends, which may afford an useful lesson to all
those persons who happen to take up their residence in
