I can actually imagine a British politician in 2024 reading this and thinking it's a good idea.

I read this because of Hozier and participation in an Academic Bowl. Very dense language but conveys meaning well!

Excellent, biting satire that might seem unnecessarily vulgar if not taken into historical context. While the premise of this essay is a bit outlandish, it is no less horrifying than how the British empire ruthlessly ruled the Irish people.

Quick read, funny and interesting!! Understanding the sarcasm in the essay is essential to its enjoyment. Also, it does describe women poorly (however this was written in 1720s so that isn’t much of a surprise)
