A propos de cet article

TWO VOLUME COMPLETE SET. Full title - THE WORKS OF JONATHAN SWIFT, D.D., AND DEAN OF SAINT PATRICK'S, DUBLIN: CONTAINING INTERESTING AND VALUABLE PAPERS, NOT HITHERTO PUBLISHED. IN TWO VOLUMES. WITH MEMOIR OF THE AUTHOR, BY THOMAS ROSCOE. VOLUME I and VOLUME II. Both volumes with matching London-Washbourne 1841 imprints. Hardcovers: H 24cm x L 15.5cm. Contemporary full black leather bindings; boards rubbed with slender wear at edges particularly at corners; boards decorated with two-line gilt borders adjoined by inner band featuring a stamped flower design; spines decorated with four slightly raised bands and dark maroon title label along with dark maroon volume# label; some scudding at spine ends and along joints. Darkened top edges; stains to toned fore-edges and bottom edges. Pale yellow endpapers; top left corner of each volume's front pastedown bears mid-19th century style bookbinder ticket for George W. Wilson - by no means definitively proven but, by circumstance of ownership of a Nashville tannery (certainly a trade with an affiliation to bookbinding) , the binder might well be Col. George W. Wilson (1778-1848) who served as Free and Accepted Masons Grand Master of Tennessee in 1840. Foxing/toning with some soiling, stains, and occasional creased corners to interior leaves. Double-column text. **** VOLUME I: i-lxxxiv, 1-844 pages. Several leaf stubs evident at front hinge with missing its muted yellow front free endpaper and at least one flyleaf; an extant flyleaf and adjacent frontis both slightly pulled but binding otherwise firm. Faded pencil signature at top of title page. Unpaged b/w frontispiece portrait of Swift with toned guard sheet. Includes "Travels Into Several Remote Nations of the World, by Lemuel Gulliver . . ." aka "Gulliver's Travels." ***** VOLUME II: i-iv, 1-854 pages. Old ink and pencil writing on ffep but only with date at top margin still legible; old ink and pencil marks on rear pastedown; two stubs at rear hinge evidence missing rear flyleaf and rear free endpaper; binding remains firm. With unpaged foldout frontispiece facsimile Swift letter but with losses to its guard sheet. ***** Still a handsome set and, by the presence of each volume's respective Wilson ticket, evidently a relatively rare mid-19th century Tennessee binding by an obscure Nashville binder despite the books' London imprints. Please note that this set has an approximate shipping weight of 6.5 pounds (2.94 kg) and will require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail.…
