London: C. Bathurst, 1766. Here is an early edition of Swift containing some of his most delightful short pieces, including "The History of John Bull" and "The Art of Political Lying." Of interest to bibliophiles would be the three essays regarding the tribulations of "Mr. Edmund Curll, Bookseller." A Very Good (Plus) copy. Nice tree calf smooth binding; five raised bands on the spine; gilt decorations and titling on red and black labels. Clean text; xvi, 239 pages. Includes the Preface from 1739. The binding is typically rubbed, particularly on the spine (the black label is mostly gone). Aside from some browning to the endpapers, affecting the edges of the Title Page, the text of a good laid rag, is generally bright, supple, and easily readable today. Despite its problems, it presents very well.. First Thus. Full-Leather. Very Good (Plus)/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
