Writing for the Tory government, he did more to settle the fate of parties and the nation than any literary figure, before or since. This volume collects together major defences of the government's position, including The Conduct of the Allies and The Publick Spirit of the Whigs, vigorous attacks on his opponents, short satirical broadsides, and brief contributions to periodicals. It also includes some little known work not present in previous editions of Swift.  This is the first fully annotated edition of these works. A comprehensive introduction, drawing on contemporary literary and historical scholarship, is supported by detailed explanatory notes on each text. It is also the first edition to identify and collate all relevant contemporary editions and provide a full account of the textual history of each work.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e The Conduct of the Allies\u003cbr\u003e Some Advice Humbly Offer'd to the Members of the October Club\u003cbr\u003e Some Remarks on the Barrier Treaty\u003cbr\u003e The New Way of Selling Places at Court\u003cbr\u003e Some Reasons to Prove, That No Person is Obliged by His Principles, as a Whig, To Oppose Her Majesty or Her Present\u003cbr\u003e It's Out at Last: Or, French Correspondence Clear as the Sun\u003cbr\u003e A Dialogue upon Dunkirk, between a Whig and a Tory\u003cbr\u003e A Hue and Cry after Dismal\u003cbr\u003e A Letter from the Pretender, to a Whig-Lord\u003cbr\u003e Refutation of Falsehoods against Lewis or The Examiner (2 February 1713)\u003cbr\u003e Vote of Thanks by the House of Lords (9 April 1713)\u003cbr\u003e The Humble Address of the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament Assembled, Presented to Her Majesty On Saturday the Eleventh Day of April, 1713\u003cbr\u003e The Importance of the Guardian Considered\u003cbr\u003e The Publick Spirit of the Whigs\u003cbr\u003e A Discourse concerning the Fears from the Pretender\u003cbr\u003e Some Free Thoughts upon the Present State of Affairs\u003cbr\u003e Some Considerations upon the Consequences hoped and feared from the Death of the Queen\u003cbr\u003e Contributions to The Post Boy and The Evening Post\u003cbr\u003e Appendices\u003cbr\u003e Transcripts of the British Library manuscripts of the Vote of Thanks and Humble Address\u003cbr\u003e Textual appendices\u003cbr\u003e General textual introduction\u003cbr\u003e Textual notes on individual works\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary studies: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20general%20%5BDSB%5D%22\"\u003eDSB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265390137624,"sku":"9781009160483","price":25.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781009160483i_63af7629-467e-4673-87d0-7bfc44114213.jpg?v=1696791296","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/english-political-writings-1711-1714-the-conduct-of-the-allies-and-other-works-paperback-9781009160483","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
