Description
Excerpt from Swift, Vol. 1: The Man, His Works, and the Age; Mr. Swift and His Contemporaries
For their incredible patience and hospitality, I am indebted to Dr William O''sullivan, Dr Richard Hayes, Mr L. W. Hanson, and the other librarians of those sanctuaries where my work was mainly done: Indiana University, the British Museum, Trinity College (dublin), the National Library of Ireland, and - condi tion to which all others naturally aspire - the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
For generously permitting me to use manuscript materials, I thank the Board of Trinity College, Dublin, the Trustees of the British Museum, the officers of the Leicester City Museum, Bod ley''s Librarian, and Mr James Osborn. I thank the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press for allowing me to quote from R. L. Colie, Light and Enlightenment, and A. R. Hall, Ballistics in the Seventeenth Century; the Delegates of the Clarendon Press for L. A. Landa, Swift and the Church of Ireland and the officers of the University Press, Dublin, for C. E. Maxwell, A History of Trinity College, Dublin.
