_Swift's Works._--In Wilde's _Closing Years of Dean Swift's Life_ (2d

edit. p. 78.) is mentioned an autograph letter from Sir Walter Scott to

C.G. Gavelin, Esq., of Dublin, in the MS. library. T.C.D., in which he

states he had nothing whatever to do with the publication or revision of

the second edition of the _Works of Jonathan Swift_. This does not agree

with the statement given in Mr. Lockhart's _Life of Sir Walter Scott_,

2d edit. vol. vii. p. 215. Who was the editor, and in what does the

second edition differ from the first?
