A

PROPOSAL

HUMBLY OFFERED TO THE

P T

FOR THE MORE EFFECTUAL PREVENTING THE

FURTHER GROWTH OF POPERY.

WITH THE

DESCRIPTION AND USE OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL THERMOMETER,

VERY PROPER FOR ALL FAMILIES.

  “Insani sanus nomen ferat, aequus iniqui,
  Ultra quam satis est, virtutem si petat ipsam.”

  HOR.  Epist. 1. vi. 16.

This “Proposal,” which has not been included in the editions of Swift’s Works issued by Scott, Faulkner, or Hawkesworth, appeared originally, but in a shorter form, in the “Tatler” (No. 220, September 4th, 1710).  In this form the whole of the first portion, from the beginning to the paragraph commencing “The Church thermometer,” is omitted, as are also the last paragraphs of the essay, including the “Advertisement.”  The text of the present reprint I have taken from the “Miscellanies,” vol. viii., 1745 (pp. 217-229).  In all modern editions of the “Tatler” this paper is ascribed to Addison; but the style and the subject are so characteristic of Swift that, although I am not in a position to say definitely that it is by him, I think it deserves a place in the form of an Appendix.  The date of its appearance in the “Tatler” is somewhat against Swift having written it, since he was at that time on his way to London; and of the few contributions he sent to the “Tatler” it is agreed by all editors that the first is the paper on the same subject as the letter to the Lord High Treasurer, which appeared in No. 230 (September 28th, 1710).
