The Works of Dr. Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book comprises 20 letters written by an Irish priest who uses the pseudonym M.B. Drapier. The letters are a powerful rebuttal of a proposal by a businessman named William Wood to introduce a new form of coinage into Ireland. Drapier argues that the new coinage is of poor quality and will harm the Irish economy. He also argues that the proposal is a violation of Ireland's constitutional rights. The letters were immensely popular in Ireland and helped to force the British government to abandon its plans to introduce the new coinage. The book is a powerful example of the power of the press and the importance of defending constitutional rights. It is also a valuable historical document, providing insights into the economic and political climate of Ireland in the early 18th century.
