Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Battle of the Books and Other Short Pieces But Sir William Tem lo had missed Jonathan Swift from Moor Park. Di crenees were forgotten, and Swift, at his wish, went back. This was in 1696, when his little pu i1, Esther Johnson, was fifteen. Swift said of her, I knew her from six years old, and had some share in her education, by directing what books she should read, and perpetually instructing her in the principles of honour and virtue, from which she never swerved in any one action or moment of her life. She was sickly from her childhood until about the age of fifteen; but then grew into perfect health, and was then looked upon as one of the most beautiful, grace ful, and agreeable young women in London, only a little too fat. Her hair was blacker than a raven, and every feature of her face in perfection. Te was the Stella of Swift's after-life, the one woman to whom his whole love was given) But side by side with the slow owth of his knowledge of all she was for him, was t 6 slow growth of his conviction that attacks of giddiness and deafness, which first came when he was twenty, and recurred at times throughout his life, were signs to be associated with that which he regarded as the curse upon his life. His end would be like his uncle Godwin's. It was a curse transmis sible to children, but if he desired to keep the in uence his genius gave him, h could not tell the world why he refused to marry. Fonly to Stella, who remained unmarried fog his sake, and gave her life to him, could all be known.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
