HE pleasure Dean Swift's Works have already afforded will be a fufficient apology for communicating to the Reader, tho' fomewhat out of season, thefe Additional Volumes; who will be less displeased, that they have been fo long fuppreffed, than thankful that they are now at last published. We have no occafion to apologize for the Pieces themfelves; for as they have all the internal marks of genuineness, fo, by their further opening the author's private correfpondence, they display the goodness of his heart, no less than the never-ceafing fallies of his wit. His answer to The Rights of the Chriftian church is a remarkable inftance of both; which, though unfinished, and but the flight prolufions of his ftrength, fhew how fincere, how able a champion he was of religion and the church. So foon as these were printed in Dublin, in a new edition of the Dean's works, it was a justice due to them to felect them VOL. XIII. thence, b thence, to complete the London edition. Like the author, though they owe their birth to Ireland, they will feel their maturity in England; and each nation will contend which fhall receive them with greater ardour. We have added, in the laft Volume, an Index to ALL the WORKS; wherein we have ranged the bons mots scattered throughout them under the article SWIFTIANA, by which their brightness is collected, as it were, into a focus, and they are placed in fuch open day, that they are fecured, for the future, from the pretty larceny of meaner wits.
