A Tale of a Tub
The first, second, and third editions of the "Tale" appeared in 1704; the fifth edition came out in 1710. In "The Apology for the &c.", Swift indicates that he originally gave his publisher a preliminary copy of the work, while he kept a blotted copy at his own hand and lent other copies including one to Thomas Swift, Jonathan's "parson cousin". As a consequence, the first edition appeared with many errors. The second edition was a resetting of the type. The third edition was a reprint of the second, with corrections, and the fourth edition contained corrections of the third.
Drapier's Letters
The first complete collection of the "Drapier's Letters" appeared in the 1734 George Faulkner edition of the "Works" of Jonathan Swift along with an allegorical frontispiece offering praise and thanks from the Irish people. Today, the "Drapier's Letters" are an important part of Swift's political writings, along with "Gulliver's Travels" (1726), "A Tale of a Tub" (1704), and "A Modest Proposal" (1729).
