- Wikisource:Requested texts/The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling; (Wikipedia) (1749 novel) by Henry Fielding; Full text at Project Gutenberg, but it is not clear which editon of the text this represents. Scan requested, but if any editor can provide a scan of a text with clear provenance, this would be most welcome.
