THE INTELLIGENCER Jonathan Swift and Thomas Sheridan This disk contains the text of THE INTELLIGENCER as established by me for the Oxford University Press edition, forthcoming.

Intelligence, from which they are to receive Weekly Information of
all Important Events and Singularities, which this famous Metropolis
can furnish. Strict injunctions are given to have the truest
Information: In order to which, certain qualified Persons are
