SOME PRESS OPINIONS
"An adequate edition of Swift--the whole of Swift, and nothing but
Swift--has long been one of the pressing needs of students of
English literature. Mr. Temple Scott, who is preparing the new
edition of Swift's Prose Works, has begun well, his first volume is
marked by care and knowledge. He has scrupulously collated his
texts with the first or the best early editions, and has given
various readings in the footnotes.... Mr. Temple Scott may well be
congratulated on his skill and judgment as a commentator.... He has
undoubtedly earned the gratitude of all admirers of our greatest
satirist, and all students of vigorous, masculine, and exact
English."--_Athenaeum._
"The volume is an agreeable one to hold and to refer to, and the
notes and apparatus are, on the whole, exact. A cheap and handy
reprint, which we can conscientiously recommend."--_Saturday
Review._
"From the specimen now before us we may safely predict that Mr.
Temple Scott will easily distance both Roscoe and Scott. He
deserves the gratitude of all lovers of literature for enabling
Swift again to make his bow to the world in so satisfactory and
complete a garb."--_Manchester Guardian._
"Mr. Temple Scott's introductions and notes are excellent in all
respects, and this edition of Swift is likely to be one most
acceptable to scholars."--_Notes and Queries._
"The new Bohn's Library edition of the prose works of Jonathan
Swift is a venture which proves itself the more welcome as each
instalment is issued.... This edition is likely long to remain the
standard edition."--_Literary World._
