SWIFT (Jonathan). The Barrel Tale, containing all that is mo - Lot 13
SWIFT (Jonathan). The Barrel Tale, containing all that is most sublime and mysterious in the arts and sciences. With several other very curious pieces. Translated from the English. A La Haye, chez Henri Scheurleer, 1767, 3 vols. in-12, full shagreened calf, smooth spine richly ornamented and gilt, burgundy and green titles and greefs, gold filleted spines, pebbled edges, marbled endpapers (spines and spines rubbed, a few slightly dull corners, rare russeting, a few brown spots). Ex-libris F. de Valenzi. New edition, the first having appeared in 1721, and containing only 6 figures as opposed to 8 in this edition. The Tale of the Barrel and the other treatises are satirical writings, dealing in particular with dissensions between Christians. The curious plates in this collection are much appreciated, especially the famous battle of the books.
