Publisher's Synopsis
Historical and Political Tracts, Irish is a collection of writings by the renowned author and satirist, Jonathan Swift. Originally published in 1905, this book is a compilation of Swift's work on Irish history and politics. The collection includes some of his most famous works, such as A Modest Proposal, in which he suggests that the Irish sell their children as food to the wealthy English, as well as lesser-known pieces like An Examination of Certain Abuses, Corruptions, and Enormities in the City of Dublin. Swift was a prominent figure in Irish politics during his lifetime, and his writing reflects his deep concern for the welfare of the Irish people. He was a fierce critic of British rule in Ireland, and his works often highlight the injustices and inequalities faced by the Irish under English domination. This book is an important historical document, as it provides a window into the political and social climate of Ireland during the 18th century. Swift's writing is witty, insightful, and often scathing, making it a fascinating read for anyone interested in Irish history or political satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
