Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Jonathan Swift, D.D.; Dean of St. Patrick's Dublin, Vol. 9: Containing Additional Letters, Tracts, and Poems, Not Hitherto Published; With Notes and a Life of the Author
By this good fortune the name of Isaac Bickerstaff gained an audience of all who had any taste of wit; and the addition of the ordinary occurrences of common journals of news brought in a multitude of other readers. I could not, I confess, long keep up the Opinion of the town, that these lucubrations were written by the same hand with the first works which were published under my name; but, before I lost the participation of that author's fame, I had already found the advantage of his authority, to which I owe the sudden acceptance which my labours met with in the world.
