Description from the seller

Jonathan Swift — The Complete Works (4 vols.)
London: Bell and Daldy, 1869

Four-volume collected edition of the complete works of Jonathan Swift (1667–1745), one of the great masters of English satire, best known for Gulliver’s Travels.

Uniformly bound in the original green cloth publisher’s bindings, with gilt lettering to the spines.

Condition: Very good overall. A rare survival in untouched state: all four volumes are unopened, unread, and uncut, preserving the original sheets as issued. The inner leaves are clean, fresh, and in excellent condition, with no signs of handling or use. The corners of the boards show slight wear, consistent with age. A fold-out facsimile handwritten letter is torn; otherwise, the set remains well preserved.

An attractive and honest Victorian-era set, appealing to collectors of classic English literature.
