Excerpt from The Works of Jonathan Swift, D.D, Vol. 7: Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin; Containing Additional Letters, Tracts, and Poems, Not Hitherto Published; With Notes and a Life of the Author
The former of the two following papers is dated October 6th, 1724, by which it appears to be written a little after the proclamation against the author of the Drapier's Fourth Letter. It is delivered with much caution, because the author confesses himself to be Dean of St Patrick's, and I could discover his name subscribed at the end of the original, although blotted out by some other hand. I can tell no other reason why it was not printed, than what I have heard, that the writer, finding how effectually the Drapier had succeeded, and at the same time how highly the people in power seemed to be displeased, thought it more prudent to keep it in his cabinet. However, having received some encouragement to collect into one volume all the papers relating to Ireland, supposed to be written by the Drapier, and knowing how favourably the author's writings of that kind have been received by the public, to make the volume more complete, I procured a copy of the following letter from one of the author's friends, with whom it was left while the author was in England; and I have printed it as near as I could in the order of time.
The next treatise is called "An Address," &c. It is without a date; but seems to be written during the first session of Parliament in Lord Carteret's government. The title of this Address is in the usual form, by M. B. Drapier. There is but a small part of it that relates to William Wood and his coin.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book consists of a collection of satirical letters and addresses concerning Irish affairs, most especially the attempt by William Wood to introduce a copper coinage into Ireland. The author, who remains anonymous throughout, provides numerous arguments against Wood's coinage, and in so doing skewers the British government's economic policies toward Ireland, as well as the corruption and mismanagement rampant within the Irish government itself. The letters are not merely a response to a specific political and economic issue of the day, however, but articulate a broader, more philosophical critique of power and the relationship between the governors and governed. More broadly, the book continues the long tradition of Anglo-Irish literature critiquing the economic and political relationship between Britain and Ireland. The author's ideas and insights on these subjects still resonate in the present day, and his arguments remain relevant to discussions of national sovereignty, economic justice, and the rights of the governed. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330887967_0
