Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D.D., Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 6 of 19
Dean into England, with an intention to publish them. But lord Bolingbroke, on whose judgment be relied, dissuaded him from that design. He told the Dean, there were several facts he knew to be false, and that the whole was so much in the spirit of party-wntmg, that though it might have made a seasonable pamphlet in the time of the admlnistration, it was a dishonour to just history. It is to be observed, that the treasurer Oxford was the hero of the story. The Dean would do nothing against his friend's judgment, yet it extremely chagrined him; and he told a common friend, that since lord Bolingbroke did not ap prove his h1story, he would cast It 11110 the fire, though it was the best work he had ever wruten. However, It did not undergo this fate, and is sa1d so be yet 111 being. Warburton.
