74. A Collection of Welsh travels and memoirs of Wales

Swift was familiar with Wales from travelling through it to Holyhead where he embarked for Dublin. The frontispiece shows Swift mounting on his horse, "The D—n setting out on his journey." The book itself has no information about Swift and invokes his name in an attempt to profit from his popularity.
