Three Men in a Boat is considered an important work of the Victorian comic texts, affording the reader a genuine insight into the morals and social mores of the period. It shares this status with George Grossmith's The Diary of a Nobody, though Three Men in a Boat is less targeted in its satire of class differences and social pretensions.

First edition, first printing (without '11' in imprint); 8vo; author's clipped signature tipped to half-title, illustrations by A. Frederics, ex libris to verso of half-title, offsetting to first and last leaf, minor spotting to title page; publisher's grey cloth boards, panelled in black to upper boards, gilt lettering to spine, spine slightly tanned and gently cocked, rubbing to corners and spine tips, else very good.
