This is an excellent edition of an important poetic voice from the Ireland of Swift, Goldsmith and Sheridan: however, the volume is of interest also to those concerned with the Dublin print trade.... [O]ne can only welcome this edition, congratulate Bucknell University Press and Michael Griffin and hope that both will continue the valuable work of making available, in well-edited editions, the work of Ireland’s eighteenth-century poets.
