Excerpt from The Prose Works of Jonathan Swift, Vol. 9

Wift has been styled the Prince of Journalists. Like most titles whose aim is to express in modern words the character and achievements of a man of a past age, this phrase is not of the happiest. Applied to so extraordinary a man as Jonathan Swift, it is both misleading and in adequate. At best it embodies but a half-truth. It belongs to that class Of phrases which, in emphasizing a particular side of the character, sacrifices truth to a superficial clever ness, and so does injustice to the character as awhole. The vogue such phrases Obtain is thus the measure of the mis understanding that is current; so that it often becomes necessary to receive them with caution and to test them with care.
