London: printed and Sold by W. Reeve, 1754. First edition. [16], 310 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Contemporary speckled calf. Joints starting, a very good, clean copy. First edition. [16], 310 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. The book was intended to vindicate Swift from some of Orrery's insinuations. It is well written, and especially interesting as the only account of Swift by one who had known him in the full force of his intellect. -- DNB. Rothschild 789; Teerink 1343 (Inventory #: 53117)
