Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D. D., Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 9 of 19
I could wish the parliament had thought fit to have suspended their regulation of church matters, and enlargements of the prerogative, until a more convenient time, because they did not appear very pressing, at least to the persons principally concern ed; and, instead of these great refinements in poli ticks and divinity, had amused themselves and their committees a little with the state of the na tion. For exztmple what if the house of commons had thought fit to make a resolution, amine con tradioeme, against wearing any cloth or stuff in their families, which were not of the growth and manufacture of this kingdom? What if they had extended it so far as utterly to exclude all silks, velvets, callicoes, and the whole lexicon of fe male fopperies; and declared, that whoever acted otherwise should be deemed and reputed an enemy to the nation? What if they had sent up such a resolution to be agreed to by the house of lords; and by their own practice and encouragement, spread the execution of it in their several coun tries? What if we should agree to make burying in woollen a fashion, as our neighbours have made it a law? What if the ladies would be content with Irish stuffs for the furniture of their houses, for gowns and petticoats for themselves and their daughters Upon the whole, and to crown all the rest, let a firm resolution be taken by male and female, never to appear with one single sh red that comes from England; and let all the people say, amen.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of letters written by an anonymous author known only as the Drapier, who used his platform to criticize the British government's decision to introduce a new currency in Ireland. The letters were highly influential in rallying public opinion against the new currency, and are considered a significant contribution to Irish political thought. The Drapier's letters are written in a clear and accessible style, and they make effective use of irony and satire to attack the government's policies. The author argues that the new currency is not only unnecessary, but that it will also be harmful to the Irish economy. He also accuses the government of being out of touch with the needs of the Irish people. The Drapier's letters were a major factor in the decision to withdraw the new currency. They also helped to raise awareness of the economic and political problems facing Ireland, and they played a significant role in the development of Irish nationalism.
