Ackermann, 1822 First collected edition, first issued in eight parts 1821-1822. The last of the genuine or 'authorized' Syntax books, pitched to the public in the introduction as the English Gil Blas: "The Favor which has been bestowed on the different tours of Dr. Syntax has encouraged the writer of them to give a 'History of the Foundling,' who has been thought an interesting object in the latter of these volumes, and it is written in the same style and manner with a view to connect it with them. This child of chance, it is presumed, is led through a track of life not unsuited to the peculiarity of his condition and character, while its varieties, as in the former works, are represented by the pencil of Mr. Rowlandson with its characteristic felicity. The idea of an English Gil Blas predominated through the while of the volume."This was Combe's last collaboration with Rowlandson, published just a year before the former's death.
