| Item Description: | Each section, with the exception of the Imitation of Horace, has special title page, with dates from 1718 to 1720. "The art of punning" (p. i-xxvii, 1-32)--has been attributed to Thomas Sheridan or to Sheridan and Swift. Cf. Brit. Mus. Cat.; Teerink. Swift's authorship of parts of the remainder of the text is considered doubtful by Teerink. Cf. H. Teerink. A bibliography of the writings of Jonathan Swift. Philadelphia, 1963. page 131. The Cushing Library/Rare Books copy is bound with: The benefit of farting explain'd. Long-fart, 1722, and The wonderful wonder of wonders. London, 1722, each with a separate title page and pagination. According to Teerink-Scouten these two pieces do not belong to this volume. These are cataloged separately. Advertisements on page [6] (first count). Head- and end-pieces; initials. The Cushing Library/Rare Books copy was acquired as part of the Lois Goddard Morrison Collection of Eighteenth Century Literature. |
