Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D. D. Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 6: Arranged by Thomas Sheridan, A. M. With Notes, Historical and Critical
The counter-project of this treaty, made here at Lon {5 don, was bad enough in all conscience; I have said something of it in the preface; her majestys ministem were instructed to proceed by it in their negotiation; There was one point in that project, which'would have been of consequence to Britain, and one or two more where the advantages of the States were not so very ex orbitant, and where some care was taken of the house of Austria. Is it possible, that our good allies and friends could not be brought to any terms with us, unless by striking out every particular that might do as any good, and adding still more to those whereby so much was al-ii ready granted? For instance, the article about demo lishing of Dunkirk, surely might have remained; which was of some benefit to the States, as well as of mighty advantage tons; and which the French king has lately yielded in one of his preliminaries, although clogged with the demand of an equivalent, which will owe its difficulty only to this treaty.

About the Author
Born in 1667, Jonathan Swift was an Irish writer and cleric, best known for his works Gulliver s Travels, A Modest Proposal, and A Journal to Stella, amongst many others. Educated at Trinity College in Dublin, Swift received his Doctor of Divinity in February 1702, and eventually became Dean of St. Patrick s Cathedral in Dublin. Publishing under the names of Lemeul Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, and M. B. Drapier, Swift was a prolific writer who, in addition to his prose works, composed poetry, essays, and political pamphlets for both the Whigs and the Tories, and is considered to be one of the foremost English-language satirists, mastering both the Horatian and Juvenalian styles. Swift died in 1745, leaving the bulk of his fortune to found St. Patrick s Hospital for Imbeciles, a hospital for the mentally ill, which continues to operate as a psychiatric hospital today.
