That was a true satire of politics. ..and if had ever dawned on the British Crown what the book was really about, they would've slowly drawn and quartered Swift while burning him alive.
AND HE GAVE IT FOR HIS OPINION, THAT WHOEVER COULD MAKE TWO EARS OF CORN, OR TWO BLADES OF GRASS, TO GROW UPON A SPOT OF GROUND WHERE ONLY ONE GREW BEFORE, WOULD DESERVE BETTER OF MANKIND, AND DO MORE ESSENTIAL SERVICE TO HIS COUNTRY, THAN THE WHOLE RACE OF POLITICIANS PUT TOGETHER. JONATHAN SWIFT, IN "GULLIVER'S TRAVELS", 1726
