About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of the Picturesque by William Combe. Read in English by Adrian Praetzellis “To bury these, to christen those, And marry such fond folks who chose To change the tenor of their life And risk the matrimonial strife.” This was the humdrum life of Dr. Syntax before he set out on his bizarre and hilarious adventures, presented here in the form of satirical poem in 26 cantos. It’s a lot of fun! - Summary by Adrian Praetzellis
