About this Item

London: J.Buckland, J. Rivington & Sons, L. Davis, B. White & Son (and 36 others), 1790. Here is a small Eighteenth-century volume of Jonathan Swift's works, as edited by Samuel Johnson. Part of a large edition, this is the forty-third volume. Very Good (Plus) condition, due to a textblock that is in remarkably good condition, very bright and supple. Marbled paper boards, with red leather spine and tips. Eight rules and lettering in gilt on the spine. Marbled endpapers, with an armorial bookplate. The paper-covered boards are very rubbed; the corners are bumped. Still, a very solid copy, easily enjoyed today. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Later Printing. Half-Leather. Very Good Plus/No Jacket.
