[SWIFT, Jonathan]. Some Remarks upon a pamphlet, entitl’d, A Letter to the Seven Lords of the Committee, appointed to examine Gregg. By the author of the Examiner. London: John Morphew, 1711.
8° (187 x 118mm). (Margins browned, more heavily on title.) Disbound.
FIRST EDITION. John Oldmixon’s Letter to Seven Lords had reproached the Tories for their suspicion of the Whig peers appointed to examine Gregg, one of Harley’s clerks, arrested for spying for the French. By associating these lords with the previous Godolphin ministry, Swift’s reply “makes an easy transition to the broad contrast between the Whig leaders and the Tories” (Ehrenpreis, Swift. ii. 472). Teerink 534; Rothschild 2019.
