Editor's Note

The usual issue of Eighteenth-Century Life contains four scholarly essays followed by a miscellany of book reviews. However, our last two numbers were special issues: selected papers from the thirteenth David Nichol Smith Seminar, edited by Jocelyn Harris and Shef Rogers (32.2), followed by previously unpublished correspondence between Henry St. John, Viscount Bolingbroke, and Sir William Trumbull, edited by Adrian C. Lashmore-Davies (32.3). This means we've had two consecutive numbers without any book reviews. Meanwhile, thanks to our diligent book-review editor, Adam Potkay, and to the many scholars who have generously devoted time and effort to writing reviews, the reviews have been piling up. Consequently, Adam and I decided to devote this issue entirely to reviews, on the theory that it might be a good idea to publish reviews before the books being reviewed went out of print.
