About this book
Three brothers inherit their father's coats and immediately begin altering them - a satire on the churches of Rome, England and Calvin, wrapped in digressions on madness, criticism and ears. Swift's first major book, and it cost him the bishopric he wanted for the rest of his life. This edition is bound with a gallery of 60 plates, including paintings by William Hogarth, David Teniers the Younger and Thomas Gainsborough, ranging in date from 1664 to 1821.
