Wraps. Sullivan, Amir Ray Abdul Bulbul (illustrator). Presumed first edition/first printing. Includes illustrations. Unpaginated [36 pages. ] Cover title 50 and one Jests of Goha. From Wikipedia: "William Alfred "Bill" Eddy, Ph.D., Col., USMC (March 9, 1896 May 3, 1962) was a U.S. minister to Saudi Arabia (1944 1946), university professor and college president (1936 42), and United States Marine Corps officer serving in World War I and World War II, and U.S. intelligence officer. After serving in World War I, Eddy had an academic career as a literary scholar and professor of English, at Dartmouth College and the American University in Cairo. He was later president of both Hobart College and William Smith College (1936 42). Dr. Eddy returned to military service just before the start of World War II, serving as an intelligence officer. From 1943 to 1945, he was the U.S. Minister to Saudi Arabia, a consultant for the Arabian American Oil Company (Aramco) and an instrumental figure in the development of the United States' relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries. He was a key figure in the formation of the CIA. In 2008 Arabian Knight: Colonel Bill Eddy USMC and the Rise of American Power in the Middle East, the first biography on Bill Eddy, was published by Selwa Press. It is written by the Middle East specialist, author and Washington Post journalist Thomas Lippman. Wiliam Alfred Eddy was born in 1896 in the city of Sidon, at the time a part of Syria, now in Lebanon. His parents, William King Eddy and Elizabeth Mills (Nelson) Eddy, were Presbyterian missionaries from the United States. Eddy grew up speaking both English at home and in school and Arabic on the streets with his friends. He stayed in the Middle East until high school and then went to the College of Wooster for his college preparatory education. His overseas upbringing and firsthand knowledge of Arabic and Arab culture would play a pivotal role in his life and in American Saudi relations. Following his graduation from Princeton University in 1917 and marriage to Mary Garvin, Eddy was accepted into the United States Marine Corps on June 6, 1917 as a "temporary second lieutenant" and was a part of the first American Marines fighting in Europe in World War I, serving as an intelligence officer with the 6th Marine Regiment. During the war he fought alongside other U.S. Marines in the German Offensive of 1918 and in the Battle of Belleau Wood against German Empire troops that same year. The battle is seen as an important success for allied forces against the Germans. Eddy was seriously injured at Belleau Wood, losing one leg because of his wounds, and was sent back to the U.S. to recuperate. For his actions as a combat Marine in World War I, he received the Navy Cross, the Distinguished Service Cross, two Silver Stars, and two Purple Hearts. After his military service, Eddy taught at Peekskill Military Academy in New York. In 1922, he received his doctorate from Princeton University. His dissertation was on Gulliver's Travels. In 1923, he was appointed as the chair of the English Department at the American University in Cairo in Egypt. His wife and children found life in Egypt difficult, however, and Eddy returned to the U.S. in 1928 to accept a teaching position at Dartmouth College. In 1936, he became president of Hobart College in upstate New York. With the threat of another World War looming, Eddy returned to active duty in the United States Marine Corps at the rank of lieutenant colonel and in 1941 became the Naval Attaché and Naval Attaché for Air in Cairo. He would work with both Naval intelligence and the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) for the duration of the war. Early in the war, Eddy suggested that the United States try to become closer to Saudi Arabia because of its strategic importance and because of the country's relative independence and internal stability. In December 1941, Eddy was redeployed as Naval Attaché to Tangier, Morocco in order to try to help secure areas of North Africa under threat by the Ge.

First Edition
Second issue of the 1727 third edition of GULLIVER'S TRAVELS with 1731 cancel title pages and divisional title pages [Teerink 295]. Includes the four maps, two plans and the four illustrations as in the 1727 issue as well as 12 pages of Verses (Teerink calls alternately for none, 20 or 24 pp). No frontis portrait present (not called for but sometimes found in this issue). THIS COPY ANNOTATED WITH EXTENSIVE CONTEMPORARY COMMENTARY, EMENDATIONS AND AMENDATIONS TO THE TEXT SOMETIMES EXTENDING TO SEPARATE LEAVES WHICH HAVE BEEN BOUND IN (or interleaved). Partial name at head of first volume title page -- "Ch. Wren" -- is the only clue to the identity of the annotator whose notes herein range from his own thoughts on the text ("CW") to those of John Boyle ("Lord Orrery") a writer and friend of Swift's who published REMARKS ON THE LIFE AND WRITINGS OF JONATHAN SWIFT (1751); John Hawkesworth ("Hawks") who edited and published an edition of Swift's works (1754-1755); and Swift himself ("the Dean"). "CW" has, it would appear, also made attempts to bring the text inline with that of Faulkner's Dublin edition of 1735 which is thought to be closer to Swift's original version which was reportedly bowdlerized by Motte for original publication. In fresh, fine 20th-century full leather bindings. Age not withstanding, altogether remarkably fine with repairs to upper edges of title pages.

Art / Print / Poster First Edition
First edition, first printing (i.e. Teerink A). Frontispiece portrait of Gulliver in the second state, as usual, with vertical chain lines and the lettering around the oval frame. Two volumes (197 x 120mm), bound in contemporary calf with gilt ruled borders and gilt titles to the spine. Binding sometime neatly rebacked with some old repairs to the hinges and corners. Internally clean with occasional browning. An excellent, tall set of this landmark novel in contemporary state. Five engraved maps. The author's masterpiece and landmark in the early development of the novel. The first printing was published on 28 October and sold out within a week and was quickly followed by two further printings in 1726, which are subtly different to the first printing, though bibliographically distinct as shown by Teerink in his bibliography of Swift, and referred to as Teerink AA and B issues. The work was immediately hailed as a classic, "From the highest to the lowest, it is universally read, from the Cabinet-council to the Nursery" - John Gay "Gulliver's Travels has given Swift an immortality beyond Temporary Fame" (PMM) Teerink 290; PMM 185.
