Sobre este artículo
London: Bathurst et. al., 1766-69.. 24 volumes in uniform contemporary full leather bindings with raised bands and intricate floral designs and author/title and volume slips in the compartments. Although most of the author/title and volume slips are missing, stamps to the leather are clear; the author/title compartments all read "Swift's Works," and the volume numbers run from 1 to 24. All 24 volumes have the "Hawthorn Farm" bookplate on them. The volumes are octavo measuring 7 3/8" by 4.5". Vols. 1-18 dated 1766; Vols. 19-21 dated 1768; Vols. 22-24 dated 1769. Internally, Vols. 19-21 are called the "Seventh Edition" and Vols. 1-3 of the "Letters," and Vols. 22-24 are called the "Third Edition" and Vols. 4-6 of the "Letters." Internally, all of the volumes, including the plates, are very nice; the texts are clean and bright. Externally, all of the volumes are tight except volumes 1, 2, and 14. Most volumes have wear with slight loss at the head and foot of the spine, areas of spine separation, and missing author/title and volume slips and are at least Good. Vol. 1 is split vertically in the middle of the spine, but the upper third is holding. The cover and front free endpaper of Vol. 2 are almost detached. Vol. 14 has the front cover loosening and starting to detach but is still holding. One of the great eighteenth-century satirists, Swift is known for such works as Gulliver's Travels and A Tale of a Tub. Unrestored contemporary sets like this are increasingly hard to find. . Good. Hard Bound. Hawkesworth Edition. 1766.
