Rare original 1738 copy of Jonathan Swift's, "A Complete Collection of Genteel and Ingenious Conversation, According to the Most Polite Mode and Method Now Used at Court, and in the Best Companies of England. In Three Dialogues," which is written under the pseudonym Simon Wagstaff. The book has a beautiful modern full leather rebinding and new marbled endpapers. It is overall in very good antiquarian condition with some minor signs of wear and age. The leather cover only has some minimal wear. The binding is good and strong. The interior is lightly toned from age with some mild foxing. There is a period gift inscription to the title page. Two of the leaves (page 125/126 & 127/128) have closed marginal tears which have been neatly repaired with acid free archival tissue. Along with that there is likely the very occasional page with some kind of other imperfection such as a creased page corner, tiny chip or tear, minor stain or marking, wrinkle etc. Generally though, it's a nice copy. The book measures approximately 8 inches by 5 inches and is 86+215 pages long. Please look at all of the photos to further note the condition. *********This book will require additional shipping charges if being sent outside of the United States**********. …
