rocco case.

The fame of this copy rests on its having belonged to England's greatest Satirists, Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift. The following inscriptions appear on the fly-leaf:

"Ex libris Tho. Monson.

"Nunc Jonath. Swift." (in Swift's handwriting).

"Bought this at Dean Swift's auction.

Ed Lisle."'

This is probably the greatest volume in existence in its relation to satirical literature. The "Letters of Obscure Men," of which this is the well-known edition of 1643, was the greatest satire of the 16th Century and having also belonged to the two greatest English Satirists makes this volume unique. From the collection of Charles B. Foote, with the bookplate engraved by French.

v.p., 1839-84

Nos. (1) and (4) of the above are known to Thackeray collectors, although they are very scarce. No. (5) however is not generally known, although from its having two woodcuts, and a literary article as well, its importance really exceeds that of the other two.

Nos. (2) and (3): are "attributed" to Thackeray; and they bear much resemblance in style, to that in his articles contributed to the "Constitutional." It is, no doubt, the absence of any woodcut, which has prevented their absolute ascription to him.
