"As to the History," writes King, "the Dean may be assured I will take care to supply the dates that are wanting, and which can easily be done in an hour or two.

The tracts, if he pleases, may be printed by way of appendix.

This will be indeed less trouble than the interweaving them in the body of the history, and will do the author as much honour, and answer the purpose full as well." This was written from Paris, under date November 9th, O.S., 1736.

It can easily be gathered from this that the tracts referred to are the tracts on the same period which Swift wrote at the time in defence of the Oxford ministry.

They are given in the fifth volume of this edition.
On December 7th, 1736, King was in London, and he immediately writes to Swift himself on the matter of the History.
