Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. First edition of this foundational, highly critical 18th-century biography of Jonathan Swift, written by his first cousin. An exceptional association copy boasting a spectacular, fully documented New England provenance chain linking back to the author's family collection. Contemporary Readership: Signed and dated on the final text page by an early owner, "Augst 16th 1756," just one year after publication. The 1787 Auction: Boldly inscribed on the flyleaf by early American owner Daniel Jones, noting his purchase at a public auction: "Daniel Jones. Vandue 1787." The Swift Family Library: Features the highly desirable, scarce, printed "Swift Library" bookplate of Miss Elizabeth R. Swift of Milton, MA. Institutional Journey: Bookplate details a fascinating itinerary: bequeathed to Prof. George Morey Richardson (Harvard), gifted to the Framingham Town Library (partial original bookplate and 1909 ink stamps present), and repatriated by trustees to the Milton Public Library in 1904. The Vital Errata Leaf: Features the rare, original printed Errata sheet structurally intact at the rear facing page 52 of the appendix—a critical insert sheet frequently discarded by period binders. Genealogical Core (Page 53): Text body includes page 53 featuring the famous 1703 letter from Swift's mother, Abigail, proving the author's intimate family access. Bibliographic Importance & Value Note: This copy is distinguished by the presence of the original, highly fugitive Errata leaf at the rear—an element frequently missing from standard trade copies. Furthermore, page 53 contains the critical 1703 letter from Swift's mother, which serves as the genealogical foundation of the book. Combined with the unbroken 'Swift Library' family provenance, this copy represents an elite, structurally complete example of 18th-century literary history." Octavo. Complete with the final Appendix and the original Errata leaf (p. 53) facing page 52 of the appendix. Internal text block shows typical 18th-century toning, minor dampstaining to endpapers, and expected foxing, but pages remains crisp. Housed in its original 1755 full calf leather binding. The spine features five raised bands with gilt accent stamping and a surviving red morocco leather title label reading "SWIFT'S LIFE & WRITINGS". Boards show expected surface scuffing, edge chipping, and natural age patina, front board loose, but holding. Interior: Title page is loose/detached along with the previous page, but present and intact. Light age-toning, minor dampstaining to endpapers, and expected 18th-century foxing throughout. An irreplaceable, exhibition-worthy copy for any serious Anglo-Irish literature or Swiftiana collector.…

Addendums to this series on Swift's work. The first twelve books were originally intended to be the only ones in this series. Later, thirteen more volumes were added as reprints with corrections. These are the reprints with corrections and updated (as of 1765) information. Volumes fourteen and fifteen were considered as 'Volume One;' volumes sixteen and seventeen were considered 'Volume Two;' and so on. VG-/VG-/./VG-: All books have wear to the edges and corners. All have a plate on the front pasted end page. All have tanning and foxing to the pages. All are well-bound.

Full Leather. Condition: Very Good binding. First Edition Thus. Volume I: [2], 8, 43, xviii, 184, [2], viii, 4, 286; Volume II: [4], 231, [4], 176, (restarting at 157)-182; Volume III: [2], vi, iii, 38 [inserted half title] 39-191, [6], 253; Volume IV: [8], 318, [2], ii, 237; Volume V: [4], 258, [4], 144 (printer error in pagination skipping to) 153-232; Volume VI: [4] 210, [2], iii, 218; Volume VII: [lacking half title], iii-viii, 230, iv, 49, 58-221; Volume VIII: xxiii, 278, vii, 196, 195-279, publishers advertisement on verso; Volume X: xxxi, 288; Volume XI: [2], viii, 322; Volume XII: viii, 295; Volume XIII: viii, 320. This is the first of the important Hawkesworth editions, lacking Volume IX and the supplementary Volume XIV which were published in 1775 and 1779 respectively, the last of the volumes printed. Given the nearly 25-year span over which the printing took place it is remarkably difficult to find sets of this edition complete. Volumes I-VI (1755); VII (1763-4); VIII (1765); X-XI (1766); XII-XIII (1768); [lacking Volumes IX (1775) and XIV (1779)]. Full bound in contemporary mottled calf with morocco title and volume labels (through numbered I-XII) with some chipping and loss. 19th century rebacks to some volumes; more recently, damage to spines and boards have been repaired; though there is cracking and tenderness to some spines, they are now relatively stable. All volumes offered are from the First Quarto Edition except the Letters X & XI which appear to be a reprint dated the same year as the First Edition. Volume X states "New Edition," and both X & XI have a variant collation from what Teerink suggests; both appear complete. All volumes complete but for Volume VII which is lacking a half title. All 26 full-page copperplate engravings plus 4 pages of Cantata are present as called for by Teerink. Notably, the same engravings were used for the octavo editions. Only the quarto edition has a large frame around the image to make it congruous to the page size. This copy belonged to Sir John Frederick, Baronet of Burwood House and bears his very tasteful engraved bookplate in most volumes. (Teerink 87). Very Good binding. …
