Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D. D., Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 23 of 24: With Notes, Historical and Critical We are ashamed to find so ill a taste prevail, as to make it a necessary work to do this justice to ourselves. It is very possible for any author to write below himself; either his subject not proving so fruitful, or fitted for him, as he at first imagined; or his health, or his hu mour, or the present disposition of his mind, unqualify ing him at that juncture: however, if he possessed any distinguishing marks of style, or peculiarity of think ing, there would remain in his least successful writings some few tokens, whereby persons of taste might disco ver, him.
