The History of Pompey the Little: Or The Life and Adventures of a Lap Dog (1751) is a satirical novel written by Francis Coventry. The book tells the story of Pompey, a lap dog who is born into a wealthy family and lives a pampered life in London. However, when his owner dies, Pompey is sold to various owners and experiences a series of misadventures. Throughout the novel, Coventry uses Pompey's experiences to satirize the society of 18th century England, particularly the upper class. The book also explores themes of class, identity, and the relationship between humans and animals. The History of Pompey the Little is considered a significant work of 18th century literature and has been praised for its wit and social commentary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
