FROM THE EARL OF BERKELEY[1].


CRANFORD, FRIDAY NIGHT, 1706-7.


I HOPE you continue in the mind of coming hither to morrow; for upon my sincerity, which is more than most people's, I shall be heartily glad to see you as much as possible before you go to Ireland. Whether you are or are not for Cranford, I earnestly entreat you, if you have not done it already, that you would not fail of having your bookseller enable the archbishop of York to give a book[2] to the queen; ​for with Mr. Nelson[3], I am entirely of opinion, that her majesty's reading of that book of the project for the increase of morality and piety, may be of very great use to that end.


  1. ↑ He had been envoy extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the States General in 1689; and in 1699 and 1700 one of the lord justices of Ireland, where Dr. Swift had been his chaplain. This letter is endorsed by Dr. Swift "old earl of Berkeley, about 1706 or 1707." He died Sept. 24, 1710.
  2. ↑ Swift's Project for the Advancement of Religion, and the Reformation of Manners.
