London: C. Bathurst, 1741. Swift's famous poem was written in 1731. First published in 1739, when it went to three editions, all of which were edited (censored) to avoid offense (certainly a fool's errand when it comes to Swift) This is a Very Good copy of a Later Printing from two years later (and four years prior to Swift's actual death). Held by all major academic libraries in the UK, but scarce in trade. Disbound from a collection; clean text; 22 pages. The title page shows darkening around the margins; within, the textblock is quite bright and clear. The last page has a split at the top, rendering it tender. While Jonathan Swift has never been out of print, works printed during his lifetime are hard to come by. . Later Printing. Soft Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6�" - 7�" tall.
