Produced by Chris Curnow, Stephanie Eason, Joseph Cooper and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "A Letter From a Clergyman to his Friend" by Anonymous is a satirical pamphlet written in the early 18th century, specifically in 1726. This work serves as a critique and reaction to Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels," exploring its content and the notorious character of its author. The pamphlet reflects the tensions of the time, characterized by debates over religion, politics, and moral integrity, as it questions the intentions behind Swift's satirical work. The letter is structured as a communication to a friend, in which the clergyman offers a detailed appraisal of Swift and his writings. He acknowledges the wit and inventiveness in the first three parts of "Gulliver's Travels" but takes particular issue with the fourth part, which he finds tedious and infested with bitterness. Throughout the letter, the clergyman vehemently charges Swift with malicious envy and sacrilegious sentiments, suggesting that he undermines the very morals and values held dear in society. The pamphlet not only serves to disparage Swift but also to uphold the authority of the Church and the existing political order, advocating for a defense against what the author perceives as the corrosive impacts of Swift’s satire.
