Swift’s Will has not survived. It was printed by Faulkner on a half-sheet, which then became bound in with his edition of the Works. This London edition emends the reading ‘vindicatorem’ for Swift’s tablet to ‘vindicem’. Herbert Davis is right to reject this attempt to make Swift’s Latin more classical: it’s difficult to imagine how the reading ‘vindicatorem’ (which is the reading in the cathedral) got there if it didn’t come from Swift.

Thomas and Mary Cooper took over Thomas Warner’s trade publishing business when he died in 1733. The business was used regularly by Pope, Dodsley, and their circle, and it became highly successful . It continued until Mary’s death in 1761.
