Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Dr. Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 5
Though I was thus, to my eternal grief, deprived of his converfation, he, for lome years, continued his cor refpoutlence, and communicated to me many ofhis pro jefls for the benefit of mankind. He (cut me fome of his writings, and recommended to my care the recovery of others, (haggling about the world and aflhmed by other men. The [alt timel heard from him, was on occafion of his firiét'ures on the Dunciad; fince when, feveral years being elapl'ed,l have reafon to believe this excellent per fon is either dead, or carried by his vehement thirit for knowledge, into fome remote, or perhaps undilcovered re gion of the world. In either cafe, I think it a debt no longer to be delayed, to reveal whati know of this pro digy of fcience, and to give the biliary of his life, and of his extenfive merits, to mankind in which I dare promife the reader, that, whenever he begins to think any one chapter dull, the fiile will be immediately changed in the Delft.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Martinus Scriblerus, an eccentric man who was dedicated to uncovering the truth about important topics of his day through the thoughtful study of ancient philosophies and practices. A linguist and a medical professional, his outlandish practices and ideas were met with a combination of respect and ridicule by his contemporaries. The author uses Scriblerus to affectionately poke fun at those who are opposed to modern ideas and those who embrace them without proper critical analysis. This book gives an amusing insight into the world of scholarship in the 18th century.
