Excerpt from The Works of Jonathan Swift, D. D., And Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 6 of 6: With Copious Notes and Additions, and a Memoir of the Author
As my life has been chiefly spent in consulting the honor and welfare of my country for more than forty years past, not without answerable success, if the world and my friends have not flattered me, so there is no point wherein I have so much labored as that of improving and polishing all parts of conversation between persons of quality, whether they meet by accident or invitation, at meals, tea, or visits, mornings, noon, or evenings.
