Harvard University press, 1966, Hardcover, Book Condition: Good, Dust Jacket Condition: Good, Third
bound in original dark green cloth covered boards, with an illustrated dust jacket. There is a small tear in the cloth on the bottom edge of the front panel almost perfectly centred. Otherwise the book itself has only the previous owner's initials on the 1st page and no other blemish to report. The dust jacket is slightly rubbed at the head and tail of the spine and on the creases of the fold overs, with a couple of short tears. Now protected. This book investigates, against the background of the intellectual assumptions of the 18th century, the technical and inventive brilliance of the dissection of the carcass of humane nature that Swift did to show a "very complete anatomy thereof to all gentlemen and others." Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. X, 214 pages, indexed. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
