page 6 of 459 (01%)
"The publishers of Bohn's Libraries will earn the thanks of a wide
circle of readers by their undertaking to produce a popular and
collected edition of the prose works of Swift.... So far as one
may judge from a first instalment, the present edition seems to
fulfil the requirements of popularity and accuracy as well as could
be desired.... The edition promises to be one of the most valuable
and welcome items in those classic 'Libraries' which have done so
much to bring good literature, in worthy form, within the reach of
the British public."--_Glasgow Herald._

"We are indebted to the proprietors of the Bohn Libraries for
various literary enterprises, but it is questionable indeed if they
have issued lately a work more acceptable, or likely to become more
popular, than 'The Prose Works of Jonathan Swift.' No better
edition of it could be desired. Mr. Temple Scott is editing the
volumes with the greatest care."--_Belfast News Letter._

"No more welcome reprint has appeared for some time past than the
new edition, complete and exact so far as it was possible to make
it, of Swift's 'Journal to Stella.'"--_Morning Post._

"By far the most satisfactory text yet printed of the wonderful
'Journal to Stella.'"--_Newcastle Daily Chronicle._

"The 'Journal to Stella' has long stood in need of editing, far
more than any other of Swift's works. It abounds in references to
persons great and small, to political and social 'occurrents,' to
ephemeral publications; and to identify and explain all these
demands an editor steeped in the history, literature, broadsides
and press news of the time of the Harley administration. Mr.
