Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D.D., Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 12 of 19: Arranged by Thomas Sheridan, A. M., With Notes, Historical and Critical
These and similar passages contain a great deal of wild and violent invective against mankind, which has been perhaps too hastily adopted as expressive of Swift's actual sentiments. It ought, however, to be remembered, that if the Dean's principles were misanthropical, his practice was benevolent. Few have written so much with so little view either to fame or to profit, or to aught but benefit to the public.
