Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters, Written by Jonathan Swift, D. D. Dean of St. Patrick´s Dublin, and Several of His Friends, From the Year 1703 to 1740, Vol. 1: Published From the Originals; With Notes Explanatory and Historical The letters here offered to the public were a present from the late Dr. Swift to Dr. Lyon, a clergyman of Ireland, for whom he had a great regard; they were obtained of Dr. Lyon by Mr. Thomas Wilkes, of Dublin, and of Mr. Wilkes by the booksellers for whom they are published. As many of them mention persons who have been long dead, and allude to incidents not now generally known, they would have been too obscure to afford general entertainment or information, if they had not been elucidated by notes. This necessary elucidation I have endeavoured to supply, at the request of the proprietors, from such knowledge of the Dean´s connections and writings as I was able to acquire, when I revised twelve volumes of his works, which were published about ten years ago, with notes of the fame kind, and some account of his life. Many passages, however, occurred, which, though, they wanted explanation, I could not explain: these I made the subject of queries, which being shew a to the late reverend Dr. Birch, he furnished answers to most of them, which are distinguished from the other notes by inverted commas. This favour cost him some trouble; but he conferred it with that readiness and pleasure, which had made his character amiable, upon many occasions of much greater importance.
