Full-Leather. Condition: Very Good. Second Edition. 73 of the 75 volumes of this set. This is a new edition dating from 1790. This set was originally published in 1779. All are in good to very good condition with rubbing to the spine and around the edges and some light marking and edge wear to the front and rear panels. Each volume has gilt decorations and three title panels on the spine: At the top this is burgundy and has 'Johnson's Poets' on it and this is present and more or less complete on 54 volumes; in the centre it is black and has the names of the poets in the volume on it and this is present on 38 volumes; and at the bottom there should be a small black panel with the volume number - this has proved the most fragile and is now only present on 3 volumes. There is a little browning to the page edges. Each volume has the original owner's bookplate - this was Alfred Octavius Hartley, M.A. of Steeple Ashton Vicarage in Wells in Norfolk. There is a little browning to the endpapers. The pages are also slightly browned with marks and stains to a few volumes but they are generally free from any spotting. The set deals with the life and work of 66 poets. Volumes 1-6 contain the lives of the poets and the final two volumes contain a general index. The remaining volumes contain the works of the poets. Some volumes contain the works of more than one poet while for the major poets several volumes are devoted to their work. Because this is a set of 73 volumes there will be an additional postage charge so if this is a concern please make contact before ordering so the different options can be discussed.

Hard Bound. Condition: Good. Hawkesworth Edition. 24 volumes in uniform contemporary full leather bindings with raised bands and intricate floral designs and author/title and volume slips in the compartments. Although most of the author/title and volume slips are missing, stamps to the leather are clear; the author/title compartments all read "Swift's Works," and the volume numbers run from 1 to 24. All 24 volumes have the "Hawthorn Farm" bookplate on them. The volumes are octavo measuring 7 3/8" by 4.5". Vols. 1-18 dated 1766; Vols. 19-21 dated 1768; Vols. 22-24 dated 1769. Internally, Vols. 19-21 are called the "Seventh Edition" and Vols. 1-3 of the "Letters," and Vols. 22-24 are called the "Third Edition" and Vols. 4-6 of the "Letters." Internally, all of the volumes, including the plates, are very nice; the texts are clean and bright. Externally, all of the volumes are tight except volumes 1, 2, and 14. Most volumes have wear with slight loss at the head and foot of the spine, areas of spine separation, and missing author/title and volume slips and are at least Good. Vol. 1 is split vertically in the middle of the spine, but the upper third is holding. The cover and front free endpaper of Vol. 2 are almost detached. Vol. 14 has the front cover loosening and starting to detach but is still holding. One of the great eighteenth-century satirists, Swift is known for such works as Gulliver's Travels and A Tale of a Tub. Unrestored contemporary sets like this are increasingly hard to find.
