Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D. D., Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin
I do not know why I tell you all this, but that I always loved to talk to you; but this is not the time for any man to talk to the purpose. Truth is a kind of contraband commodity which I would not venture to export, and therefore the only thing tending that dangerous way which I shall say, is, that I am and always will be with the utmost sincerity.
