The Prose Works of Jonathan Swift, D.D. - Volume 07 - Historical and Political Tracts-Irish by Jonathan Swift
page 7 of 459 (01%)
Ryland's present edition will satisfy all but the few who dream of
an ideal."--_Athenæum._

"The immortal 'Journal to Stella,' one of the works most
indispensable to a knowledge of the life and literature of the
early part of the eighteenth century. We know of no shape in which
the Journal is published so convenient for perusal as this. The
notes are short and serviceable, and there is a full
index."--_Notes and Queries._

"At last we have a well-printed, carefully edited text of Swift's
famous Journal in a single, handy, and cheap volume. The present
edition will, we hope, encourage many timid souls, who have been
awed by the formidable array of Scott, Sheridan, or Hawkesworth's
editions, to make the acquaintance of the most interesting,
charming, and tender journal that ever man kept for a woman's
eye."--_St. James's Gazette._

"Mr. Dennis is quite justified in his boast of now first giving us
a complete and trustworthy text [of 'Gulliver's
Travels']."--_Manchester Guardian._

"The number of useless reprints of Gulliver, based on Hawkesworth's
untrustworthy edition, and mostly expurgated besides, is so great
that we owe double thanks to Mr. Dennis, since he has not shirked
the trouble of collating the five earliest editions, and has given
us again at last--as far as is possible in the present case--the
complete and authentic text of the original."--PROF. MAX
FÖRSTER in _Anglia_.
