Item description from seller

A smart copy of this illustrated collection of satirical letters from Anglo-Irish writer Jonathan Swift. Illustrated with a frontispiece, five full-page images, and five plates. Collated complete. A collection of satirical letters on the failure of William Wood's halfpence production in Ireland, with historical, bibliographical, and textual commentary. Letters were written to the shopkeepers, the people of Ireland, the Lord Chancellor Midleton, the Houses and Parliament, and more. Written by Jonathan Swift, an Anglo-Irish satirist, author, essayist, political pamphleteer, poet, and Anglican cleric who became Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms—including Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, and M. B. Drapier. Edited by Herbert John Davis, an English literary scholar and university administrator. In the original black cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing and minor bumping to the extremities. Minor fading to the spine with the odd mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with light spotting to the endpapers. Very Good.
