Published from his Original Manuscript; as attested by his Son, Spring Macky, Esq. 8vo., contemporary calf, well rebacked. 1733 £5 5s. Written by one Davis, a Customs Officer. AN EXCEEDINGLY INTERESTING COPY, with notes throughout in an eighteenth century hand, chiefly being remarks as to the characters of the persons mentioned in the back. A long note in the same handwriting on the fly-leaf tells us that these notes are the genuine work of Swift, transcribed by the writer of the note from a copy of the book in which they were copied from Dean Swift's original by his relative John Putland, Surgeon. A further note states the above, as well as the MS. notes were transcribed from Mr. Isaac Reed's entries in his own copy (copied from Ritson's) I.R." It is probable therefore that three copies are in existence, the above being one, besides the original in which these notes occur. As may perhaps be expected the Dean held very definite opinions as to the qualities or defects in the characlers of many of the individuals mentioned in the book—and these he expressed in forcible terms. For instance-Charles, Duke of Somerset had" not a grain of good judgement, hardly commonsense"; Charles Lenos, Duke of Richmond was a shallow Coxcomb' The Duke of Grafton was "almost a slobberer"; and John, Duke of Montagu was an Arrant a Knave as any in his time." |
