Template:RQ:Swift Works/documentation
Usage
editThis template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from a collection of Jonathan Swift's works edited by Thomas Sheridan and John Nichols entitled The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift (new edition, 1801, 19 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the works at the Internet Archive:
