Item #308190

First edition of this unauthorized miscellany gathering previously published material. The name "A. Moore" is fictitious, as is the mention of a Dublin edition. "An Apology to Lady Carteret" and "An Epistle to his Excellency John Lord Carteret" are by Patrick Delany, and only one of the three prose pieces is by Swift.
