First page present is the title page, chipped, soiled and edgeworn, with its engraving partially hand-colored. 232 pages present, but incomplete, breaking off with about 3-4 pages missing from the Voyage to the Houynhnms. 4 engravings (including the one on the title page), three of which are crudely hand-colored. One small map in the text. Some foxing and fading, discoloration from thumbing throughout. Despite wear to the edges of the pages, the textblock remains tight.

It was published in Boston in 1820, but I can find no earlier US edition except for an 1802 abridged version printed by Isaiah Thomas in Worcester.
