Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Correspondence of Jonathan Swift, D. D, Vol. 1: Edited by F. Elrington Ball, With an Introduction by the Very Rev. J. H. Bernard, D. D., Dean of St. Patrick's

Swift's life and times may compensate for the deficiencies of the editor.

Before entering on a consideration of the principles which have guided the preparation of this edition of Swift's Correspondence, it will be necessary to review the channels through which the larger portion of the letters was origin ally communicated, and the works in which the Cor respondence has been since made accessible. Covering, as it does, a period of over a century and a half, the list is a long one, and for convenience of reference it has seemed desirable to adopt a chronological and tabular arrange ment, giving in each case the particular edition used for the purposes of the present one.
