Excerpt from Eighteenth Century Letters: Swift, Addison, Steele
Letters in foreign languages, almost all diplomatic correspondence, and philosophical or literary essays published as letters are omitted while on the other hand selections have been sometimes made from letters in journal form.
It is hoped to cover the whole century; and the volumes will be ultimately arranged, though not originally published, in chronological order; the rule of birth date being in some cases slightly modified for the union of friends or writers of one class.
