Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Correspondence of Jonathan Swift, D.D, Vol. 2 My Lord, Since I had the honour of your Grace´s letter, we have had a dead time of news and politics; and I make a con science of writing to you without something that will recompense the trouble of reading. I cannot but grant that your Grace, who are at a distance, and argue from your own wisdom and general observations and reading, is likely to be more impartial than I, who, in spite of my resolutions and opinion to the contrary, am forced to con verse only with one side of the world, which fastens prejudices to me, notwithstanding all I can do to avoid them. Your Grace has certainly hit upon the weak side of our peace; but I do not find you have prescribed any remedies, for that of limiting France to a certain number of ships and troops was, I doubt, not to be compassed. While that mighty kingdom remains under one monarch, it will be always in some degree formidable to its neighbours. But we flatter ourselves it is likely to be less so than ever, by the concurrence of many circumstances too long to trouble you with. But, my Lord, what is to be done?
