Excerpt from The Correspondence of Jonathan Swift, D. D, Vol. 1
To the memory of Caesar Litton Falkiner my work on these volumes is dedicated. Three years ago he consented to act as the editor, and entered upon the task with an enthusiasm that foretold a successful termination to his labours. Few could rival him in gifts for the undertaking. Ease and grace of diction were united, in his case, with a lawyer's skill in the examination of evidence and a temperament essentially judicial; and knowledge of the sources for the elucidation of Irish history, on which he was recognized at the time of his death as a first authority, was combined with wide reading in general literature and a close study of the political history of England. With such equipment and with exhaustless energy there was reason to hope that Falkiner's connection with this edition of the great Dean's correspondence would have led to the solution of many of the problems surrounding Swift's life, and there was a certainty that it would have resulted in a brilliant exposition of the constitutional questions with which Swift is identified. But it was ordered otherwise. Within a year of his acceptance of the editorship, Falkiner was taken in the plenitude of his strength from his friends and his country. For a great part of my life Falkiner had given me the benefit of his friendship, a friendship marked by its unselfishness, sincerity, and stedfastness, and by his last disposition indicated his desire that I should, so far as possible, carry on what he had begun.
