Hardcover. Condition: Poor. Once a hardcover, now missing both covers. Remains of leather on the spine, with maroon title label, much scuffed. First page present is the title page, chipped, soiled and edgeworn, with its engraving partially hand-colored. 232 pages present, but incomplete, breaking off with about 3-4 pages missing from the Voyage to the Houynhnms. 4 engravings (including the one on the title page), three of which are crudely hand-colored. One small map in the text. Some foxing and fading, discoloration from thumbing throughout. Despite wear to the edges of the pages, the textblock remains tight. Bottom corner of the final 2 pages chipped and missing. An early American printing of Jonathan Swift's most famous work, originally published in 1726. It was published in Boston in 1820, but I can find no earlier US edition except for an 1802 abridged version printed by Isaiah Thomas in Worcester. (the seller of that edition mentions a 1787 Philadelphia edition as the 1st US). Please email with questions or to request photos.…
