    Rare Books

    This bound volume contains 79 manuscript and printed broadsides chiefly from the 1720s and 1730s with satirical, humorous, and political ballads, poems, and prose by various Anglo-Irish writers, dramatists, and clerics including Jonathan Swift (1667-1745). Some of the unattributed manuscript poems and annotations are purported to be by Swift. The volume includes sixteen handwritten items and sixty-three printed texts. The printed items were primarily printed in Dublin, Ireland, with six printed by Dublin printers John Harding and Sarah Harding. The items are numbered and separated into two parts, each preceded by a contemporary handwritten table of contents. The volume has previously been referred to in print as the Dublin Broadsides. It is bound in a leather binding with the spine title "Broadsides by Swift and others : ms. and printed."
