The Wrst part of the auction catalogue contains his theological collection (as is to be expected in a clergyman), the second law, medicine, philosophy, mathematics, history and literature, antiquities, language and grammar, literature and art. The books are arranged by size, and author, title, and date is given, as is the type of binding. In some instances rarity of Wne bindings are noted. Süssmilch (1708–67), is best known for Die göttliche Ordnung, his classic contribution to the study of population Wgures and demography – the earliest work which can be described as ‘statistical’ in the modern sense. The catalogue was compiled and annotated by the German encyclopedist Johann Georg Krünitz (1728–1796), who was working on his Oeconomische Encyclopaedie, a massive undertaking extending to 242 volumes, only 72 of which he managed to see through the press.

Upstairs – Downstairs The Servants’ View 113 SWIFT, Jonathan. Directions to Servants in General; and in particular to the Butler, Cook, Footman, Coachman, Groom, House-Steward, and Land-Steward, Porter, Dairy-Maid, Chamber- Maid, Nurse, Laundress, House-Keeper, Tutoress, or Governess... Printed in the year 1746. £750 8vo, pp. 58, [2], [2] blank; title with old repair to foremargin, repair to gutter margin of last three leaves; a little dust-soiled; recently bound in marbled boards. Pirated edition. Swift’s Directions to Servants was apparently written around 1736 but not published until after his death. It is a satirical take on a handbook of manners, addressed to all types of servants individually and collectively, and easily transferable to modern time. With his usual caustic wit, Swift pits servant against master in the ultimate ‘upstairs/downstairs’ struggle for order, power, and the best bits of the roast. He advises the servants on how to maintain the upper hand against their masters, how to disguise mistakes and errors, and how to get through the working day with as little eVort as possible. In all a witty expression of the frustrations of a lifetime’s poor service. The Wnal unnumbered leaf contains a satire in pidgin Latin, A consultation of four physicians upon a Lord that was dying, with no author statement. ESTC t231345; apparently not in Teerink.
