esired. 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.

MAX FOeRSTER in _Anglia_. "An ideal text of 'Gulliver's Travels.'"--_Literary World._ "Th
