Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Jonathan Swift, D. D., And Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 5 of 6: With Copious Notes and Additions, and a Memoir of the Author
Having, therefore, as far as in me lies abolished this additional duty upon wine; for I am not under the least concern about paying the interest of the national debt, but leave it as in loyalty bound wholly to the wisdom of the honorable house of commons; I come now to consider by what methods we may be able to put 06 and delay our utter undoing as long as it is possible.
I never have discoursed with any reasonable man upon the sub jcet, who did not allow that there was no remedy left us but to lessen the importation of all unnecessary commodities as much as it was possible; and likewise either to persuade our absentees to spend their money at home, which is impossible; or tax them at five shil lings in the pound during their absence, with such allowances upon necessary occasions, as shall be thought convenient: or by permit ting us a free trade, which is denied to no other nation upon earth. The three last methods are treated by Mr. Prior in his most useful treatise added to his list of absentees.

The book delves into the profound effects of these policies on the Irish people, leading to widespread poverty, despair, and social unrest. The author argues that these policies were not only economically ruinous but also deeply harmful to the spirit and culture of the Irish nation.
