Description:Excerpt from A Tale of a Tub: The Battle of the Books and Other SatiresThough in 1699 the outside world was ignorant of his existence, Swift was known to the wide circle of Temple's acquaintance as a man of great promise, and, to a select few, not only of promise but of performance. He had already fleshed his pen: he had written verses - though these called forth Dryden's oft-quoted remark, Cousin Swift, you will never be a poet, a prophecy soon to be falsified; and he had prepared Temple's letters and memoirs for publication. But this work counts as nothing when it is remembered that he had composed The Battle of the Books and The Tale of a Tub, which, written in 1697 and circulated in manuscript, did not receive the honour of publication until seven years after their inception.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
