A nicely bound two-volume set of Gulliver's Travels, one of greatest satires ever written. It was an immediate success, which accounts in part for its bibliographical complexity, and has been hailed as a book that "would last as long as the language, because it described the vices of man in all nations"(DNB) The scarce third issue published in December 1726 with continuous pagination in each volume (the first three octavo editions were published from October to December 1726) Teerink 290.
