The Letters of Jonathan Swift to Charles Ford
Published by Oxford at the Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1935
Language: English
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. pp xlvii,260. Original cloth a little dull and bumped to the head of the spine but clean. Inscription in the hand of John Traill Christie (Headmaster of Repton School) dated 1935 with Latin quotation dedicated to T.P. La F. Tipped on to the rear free endpaper is a headed A.L.S. from Christie posted from The Hall, Repton, Derby to a Mr La Fanu dated Jan 10th 1935. The letter explains that the book is a belated Christmas present and appears to be intended for the 'Swift specialist' rather than the 'Common Reader.' Christie's wife, Lucie Catherine, was the daughter of Thomas Philip Le Fanu, the Anglo-Irish senior Civil Servant and so 'T.P. La F' is presumed to be his father-in-law. The recipient subjected Nichol Smith's footnotes to a close reading judging by the loosely enclosed notes and the penciled notes to the rear pastedown, partially erased.
