Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters and Journals of Jonathan Swift The present volume is intended to supply what was wanting in my Selections from the Prose Writings of Jonathan Swift, There my object was to offer what I considered the best specimens (within certain necessary limits) of Swifts prose style, as shown in his public works, his satires, political papers, and narrative pieces - in short, his literary style, in which there is more of the author than the man. In the present selection it is not the style, but Swift the man, in whom we are interested, and the letters and journals are chosen with a view of illustrating his manner of life, his friendships and tastes, - to show us the satirist at home, with his armour off, the cynic delighting in the society of the few people whom he excluded from his general condemnation of the animal called man It is true that the letters are as delightful as any of Swifts works in point of style. They possess the greatest charm letters can have, perfect sincerity and frankness: Swift writes as though he were talking face to face with his friends.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Jonathan Swift, Vol. 5 of 19: Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin; Containing Additional Letters, Tracts, and Poems Not Hitherto Published; With Notes and a Life of the Author Having written the following History at Windsor, in the happy reign of her majesty Queen Anne, of ever glorious, blessed, and immortal memory, I resolved to publish it, for the satisfaction of my fellow-subjects, in the year 1713; being under a necessity of going to Ireland, to take possession of the dea'nery of St. Patrick's, Dublin, I left the original with the ministers, and having staid in that kingdom not above a fortnight, I found, at my return, that my Lord-treasurer Oxford, and the secretary my Lord Bolingbroke, who were then unhappily upon very ill terms with each other, could not agree upon publishing it, without some alterations which I would not submit to. Where upon I kept it by me until her majesty's death, which happened about a year after. I have ever since preserved the original very safely, too well knowing what a turn the world would take, upon the German family's succeeding to the crown; which, indeed, was their undoubted right, having been established solemnly by the act of an undisputed parliament, brought into the House of Commons by M r. Harley, who was then speaker. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vanessa and Her Correspondence With Jonathan Swift: The Letters Edited for the First Time From the Originals For the pleasure I have had in making this book I am indebted to Mr. Robin Flower, of the Department of MSS., British Museum, who indicated the manuscripts to me and suggested that I should edit them, and placed at my disposal the work he had done on them for the official Catalogue. The reader must participate in my gratitude to him for having corrected or confirmed my wavering interpretation of many difficult writings, checked my transcript and subsequently compared certain portions of the proof with the manuscript. His generous collaboration at all stages has enabled me to claim for the text of the letters here printed a degree of accuracy of which, but for association with an expert, it would have been hard to feel satisfied. But in case subsequent transcribers should condemn my readings of "carver" in No. XLIV and "tantony" in No. ii., I here proclaim my sole responsibility for them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Jonathan Swift, Vol. 1: Volume the First, 1667-1711 Though the original materials thus far employed in the story will speak for themselves, it may be expected that the principal of them, as well as of other new matter to be used in the two remaining vol umes that will complete the work, should have mention in this place. When the task was undertaken, Mr. Murray confided to the writer nearly fifty unpublished letters addressed by Swift to Archdeacon Walls after he was Dean of St. Patrick's; and this incentive to far ther research led to many richer acquisitions. More than a hundred and fifty new letters have been placed at my disposal. The value of the results yielded by collation of the later portions of the Journal to Stella with the original manuscript, can be judged only partially by the use of them in this volume. To later passages of the life their contribution will be extremely important. Some special blanks in the printed journal, on which Scot-t remarks, are filled up by them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Jonathan Swift, D. D, Vol. 2: Containing Additional Letters, Tracts, and Poems, Not Hitherto Published The Journal to Stella, from 2d September 1710, to 6th June 1713, forms a natural introduction to the political pieces by which Swift supported the last ministry of Queen Anne. But it may also be thought a fit preface to his works in general, as affording the closest insight into his temper, principles, and habits, during the busiest and happiest period of his life. It contains, indeed, documents for his private history, of a nature equally curious and authentic. The letters of literary men are usually written under some feeling, that they may one day become public; at least they are calculated so as to bear relation to the habits and feelings of their correspondents; and thus far the writer is necessarily under a degree of restraint. In a private diary, on the other hand, the journalist pays some attention to the arranging and methodizing his thoughts; for, supposing that it is intended for the writer's sole use, there are few who care to review even their own sentiments in absolute dishabille: But the Journal to Stella is as unconstrained as conversation the most intimate and familiar, nearly as much so, indeed, as thought itself. To account for this, we must recollect, that Swift had united the destiny of Mrs Johnson so closely to his own, that his hopes, fears, wishes, and expectations, were sure to be identified with those of his correspondent. The strange and peculiar relation in which they had now for some years stood to each other, had produced between them all the confidence and mutual interest of marriage, while their affection was unchilled by familiarity, or by possession. Swift, therefore, wrote to Stella, alike without coldness or suspicion, with all the intimacy of a husband, but with all the feelings of a lover. Nothing was too precious to be withheld from her; and, at the same time, nothing so trifling in which she was not to find interest, if it related to him.
