Sobre este artículo
London: Millar, 1758. First edition. 8vo, pp. xvi, 392. Bound in a period style modern blind-stamped speckled calf binding, raised bands on the spine, gilt lettered red morocco spine label. Gilt-stamped armorial bookplate from previous binding. Some trivial foxing on the foredge, o/w a fine copy . Rothschild 2188; Teerink 809 (with z3 & Aa3 properly signed). Swift wrote this intending publication in 1713, but continued to work on it for years. Publication was blocked in 1727 and 1737 and eventually it was issued in the 1758 edition amongst much controversy.
