Usage
[edit]This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from a collection of Jonathan Swift's works entitled Miscellanies in Prose and Verse (1st edition, 1711). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books. (Archived at the Internet Archive.)
Wherever possible, use a quotation template relating to a specific work (for example, {{RQ:Swift Nobles and Commons}}) instead of this template.
