[ARBUTHNOT (JOHN)]: Le Procès sans Fin, ou l'Histoire de John Bull, Publiée sur un Manuscrit trouvé dans le Cabinet du fameux Sir Humfroy Polesworth, en l'annèe 1712. Par le Docteur Swift.
A Londres, Chez J. Nourse 1754. 8vo, pp. xxiii [xxiv "Avis de l'Imprimeur"], 248, contemporary Dutch marbled boards, morocco label (chipped): no blank leaves before title-page or after last page of text, ex-library with faded library stamp on title-page. Arbuthnot (1667 - 1735) published the five pamphlets which comprise this work separately in 1712, and as The History of John Bull in 1712, and as Law is a Bottomless Pit in 1727; it was also included the Pope-Swift Miscellanies. CBEL notes a French translation of 1753. The imprint here looks suspiciously false, lacking the press figures often found in English printings of this period; and the signatures are distinctively continental. This translation is by the Abbé Paul Francois Velly and first appeare in 1753. ESTC N38661 locates copies in L, O; CaBViV, CaOTU, CLU-S/C, FU, ICN, MH, NIC; KATs, PmPLOz, TOu, WWs. Not in Teerink-Scouten.
