description: The Expedition of Humphry Clinker shows Smollett in mellow mood, and is generally acknowledged to be his crowning achievement. The hilarious adventure of Squire Bramble and his family as they travel through Britain allow for much comment on English life and manners in the 1760s, and the story is rich with a gallery of types that rank amongst the finest in comic literature. Smollett airs his considerable knowledge of England, Wales and his native Scotland, and ultimately presents an ideal for human contentment.
