Swift is the famous author of Gulliver's Travels (which is present in this set).
These are bound in the original full polished calf leather bindings!
Printed on quality rag paper about free of any foxing!
High quality leather is very fresh and well-preserved!
Intricately gilded spines and frames to covers!
7 inches tall.
All hinges attached, although some show some signs of starting there is no risk as they are all held firmly in place by the original cords underneath the raised hubs. No writing or bookplates.
Such high quality, early and complete sets of Swift are very desirable and seldom seen.
This is an important edition 'MORE COMPLETE THAN ANY PRECEDING EDITION.' This is the first edition by this publisher with the preface dated 1768 as well. Printed in Edinburgh. VERY GOOD condition. Complete in 13-volumes, as stated, with an index in Volume 13. Includes all of Swift's works, including Gulliver's Travels.
This would make an excellent gift and/or addition to any library!
