** "The Prose Works of Jonathan Swift, D.D. - Volume 07" by Jonathan Swift is a compilation of writings from the 1700s that throws light on Ireland's tough situation as it was governed by England. Through sharp and witty writing, Swift talks about the social and political problems facing Ireland, defending the rights of the Irish people and calling out the unfair actions of the English rulers that hurt the locals. He shows how bad things were in Ireland because of poor leadership and oppressive rules, also how political tensions rose and how the English betrayed the Irish.
