It was later followed by 'Moll Flanders' and 'Colonel Jack' by Defoe, the 'Joseph Andrews' of Fielding, the 'Roderick Random' and 'Peregrine Pickle' of Smollett. In the nineteenth century we find it imitated by Dumas in 'The Three Musketeers' and also in some of the later minor novelists. =QUINTILIAN.= _b._ 35, _d._ 100. =Roman critic and teacher of rhetoric.= HIS INSTITUTES OF ELOQUENCE....
