"The first of Smollett's novels, Roderick Random, is still the best known. In it 'we are given for the first time in true fiction a new set of characters taken from the quarter-decks and forecastles of His Majesty's ships,' of which Smollett wrote out his experience as surgeon's mate on a battleship. Roderick himself is brutally recruited by way of the press-gang, and the picaresque story depicts 'crowded hours of adventurous life by sea and land, in the tavern or the gambling den.'"
