Excerpt from The Works of Dr. Jonathan Swift, Vol. 11: Dean St. Patrick's, Dublin

N. B. about the time that the following speech was written, the town was much pestered with Street-robbers; who, in a barbarous manner, would seize on gentlemen, and take them into re?note corners and, after they had robbed them, would leave them bound and gagged. It is remarkable, that this speech had so good an effect, that there have been very few robberies of that kind committed since.

The Last Speech And Dying Words Of Ebenezer Elliston, Who was executed the 2d of May, 1722.

Published, at his desire, for the common good, I Am now going to suffer the just punishment for my crimes, prescribed by the law of God and my country.
