Seller's Description:
Fine + 12mo-over 6¾-7¾" tall. pp. 64. Book as new and unread, contents pages pristine. Only flaw is that the spine has faded from the original pink, and this extends to the top and bottom edges of the front cover. Swift-more than any other writer in the English language-made irony and satire respectable and formidable. Neither the clarity and vigour of his prose nor the sharpness of his wit has been surpassed. This selection of his sayings and aphorisms reveal him as a stern and effective moralist but also as a kindlier and more humorous observer of the human condition than has sometimes been allowed.
