Excerpt from A Bibliography of the Writings of Jonathan Swift The revisions and additions which Dr. Teerink has made in the present work are as follows: (1) He has provided full physical de scriptions for all important books and pamphlets. (2) He has brought the work up to date by including the bibliographical find ings of Swift scholarship during the past twenty-five years and by listing books and pamphlets which he had not seen or known about in 1937. (3) He has removed a considerable number of pieces attributed to Swift, either by dropping them or by relegating them to the section entitled Doubtful. (4) He has detached books or pamphlets containing several pieces from Collected Works and placed them in other sections. (5) He has transferred entries of works containing some contemporary comment on a work by Swift from the end of the book to where the work by Swift has been entered.

He has assigned numbers to new entries established by Dr. Teerink, has provided a table showing the location of all entries, and has made an index. He has silently omitted entries of some works not belonging in the Swift canon, particularly the John Bull pamphlets. In only one place has he re vised any entries; in the light of new information, he has rearranged those for Verses on the Death of Dr. Swift.
