SWIFT, Jonathan
The Works of Jonathan Swift...
C. Bathurst et al., London, 1755. Six volumes, quarto, engravings throughout; front hinge wearing on volume one and some slight external wear but an excellent set in contemporary speckled calf, spines elaborately decorated in gilt. A handsome set of Swift's works, the foremost satirist in English.
The set includes all of Swift's most famous works, including Gulliver's Travels and The Tale of a Tub, as well as reproducing his poetry and occasional political writings from pamphlets and journals.
This is the first appearance of Hawkesworth's edition, which appeared later in the same year in a twelve-volume octavo version. This was, of course, the same John Hawkesworth who later wrote the official account of Cook's first voyage. Hawkesworth's association with writers as diverse as Swift and Johnson as well as his translation of works such as Fénélon's, had a direct impact on the writing and style of the first voyage account. His editing of Swift was well received and went through many eighteenth century editions.
Lowndes, p. 2557; Teerink, 87.
