Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D.D., Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 23
For a forgery in setting a false name to a writing, which may prejudice another's fortune, the law punishes the offender with the loss of his ears; but has inflicted no adequate penalty for such as prejudice another's reputation in doing the same thing in print; though all and every individual book, so sold under a false name, are manifestly so many several and multiplied forgeries.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a collaboration of Alexander Pope, John Arbuthnot, and Jonathan Swift, was conceived with the intention of lampooning the literary establishment and an outpouring of literary works deemed by the authors as overblown or shallow. Drawing from great philosophical, historical, and literary thinkers, the authors crafted a series of essays that blend the serious with the mocking, the profound with the absurd. Concepts found in the book speak to themes of vanity, pride, and the ways in which humanity clings to ideas of self-importance. Combining satire and erudition, the book stands as a timeless critique of human nature and artistic pretension, deftly exposing the pitfalls of taking oneself too seriously while reminding us of the virtues of intellectual humility and good humor. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334506925_0
