This volume is marked 'Finis' on the final page, which would imply that it is part of a ten-volume edition of the works. There appear to have been several collections of Swift's works issued around this time by various London publishers acting either alone or jointly. The four volumes I have were uniformly bound, and have the same owner signature.. Full-Leather. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
