46. Swift, Jonathan, 1667-1745. Verses on the death of Dr. S----, D.S.P.D.,

This was written by Swift himself and takes a sardonic view of his own life. This copy has many of the blanks for names etc. completed in a contemporary hand. This is commonly the case with this edition, but the Monash copy has some unique annotations and Professor Probyn wrote an article on it in Studies in Bibliography, v. 39 (1986) p, 47-61.
