Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D. D. Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 6: Arranged by Thomas Sheridan, A. M. With Notes, Historical and Critical

The counter-project of this treaty, made here at Lon {5 don, was bad enough in all conscience; I have said something of it in the preface; her majestys ministem were instructed to proceed by it in their negotiation; There was one point in that project, which'would have been of consequence to Britain, and one or two more where the advantages of the States were not so very ex orbitant, and where some care was taken of the house of Austria. Is it possible, that our good allies and friends could not be brought to any terms with us, unless by striking out every particular that might do as any good, and adding still more to those whereby so much was al-ii ready granted? For instance, the article about demo lishing of Dunkirk, surely might have remained; which was of some benefit to the States, as well as of mighty advantage tons; and which the French king has lately yielded in one of his preliminaries, although clogged with the demand of an equivalent, which will owe its difficulty only to this treaty.
