First sentence: I have received your esteemed favour of the 13th ultimo, whereby it appeareth that you have perused those same letters which were delivered unto you by my friend, the Reverend Mr. Hugo Behn;
Description: The Expedition of Humphry Clinker is a lively satirical portrayal of eighteenth-century Britain, using letters to show social conventions, regional inequalities, and individual peculiarities.

Smollett expertly blends comedy and sharp observation to expose class-based pretensions, political absurdities, and moral flaws. The diverse views add to both humorous effect and narrative complexity, with travel acting as a vehicle for addressing national identity, personal flaws, and the dynamic forces driving a society in transition, all presented in a stunning and enduring manner.
