Page:The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, Volume 8.djvu/398

 This Treatise, first published at Dublin in 1719, was immediately reprinted at London; where it passed through five editions at least, and was then pretty generally ascribed to Dr. Swift; and is called his in the Catalogue of the Library of Anthony Collins, esq. It appears, however, that, in this instance, the Dean was only an assistant. The piece was written by Dr. Sheridan; and received several corrections and improvements from Dr. Swift, Dr. Delany, and Mr. Rochfort. See the Second Preface to this Tract.
