Publisher's Synopsis
Observations Upon Lord Orrery�������s Remarks On The Life And Writings Of Jonathan Swift is a book written by Patrick Delany in 1754. The book is a critique of Lord Orrery�������s biography of Jonathan Swift, a prominent Irish writer and satirist. Delany, who was a close friend of Swift, takes issue with Orrery�������s depiction of Swift as a misanthropic and bitter man. Delany argues that Swift was a complex and multifaceted individual who was deeply committed to his friends and his country. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of Orrery�������s biography. Delany provides detailed analysis and commentary on Orrery�������s arguments, drawing on his own personal knowledge of Swift to refute many of Orrery�������s claims. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Swift�������s life and work, as well as for anyone interested in the literary and cultural history of 18th-century Ireland.Containing Several Singular Anecdotes Relating To The Character And Conduct Of That Great Genius, And The Most Deserved Celebrated Stella.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
