Osborne lists an 1815 edition with the collation above and mentions a 2 d. chapbook with a reversible picture of a Spaniard on the wrappers - ovbiously not this edition. Roscoe and Brimmell 44 and 45 list the 1814 and 1815 editions and, indeed, 46 (see picture at p 40) comes in the identical green wraps; however the contents differ and althouth this copy has less text (8 leaves as opposed to 14) it is complete. Appears to be an unrecorded variant of Swift’s classic work. GBP 295.00 [Appr.: EURO 323.75 US$ 487.93 | JP¥ 41974] Book number: 38444 Click here to order or inquire at John Turton. | ||
