Excerpt from The Prose Works of Jonathan Swift, Vol. 1 of 3
As a political friend he was staunch to the last degree. Harley and Bolingbroke he served faithfully and, we believe, disinterestedly - certainly as much for the love he bore them as for any hope of personal gain or advancement. When, finally, he left them to themselves, it was only after he was convinced that all his efforts could avail nothing. But he had given them Of his best, and had done for them what it was possible for no other man of his day to do. The Conduct of the Allies is the most successful effort ever made on behalf of a ministry by any single writer of any age. The popularity of even a Marlborough in the midst of his victories and at the height of his career, could not stand be fore its trenchant criticism and persuasive argument.
As a political enemy he was a man to be dreaded. On this side he stopped at nothing. His Character of Whar ton is a sufficient example of the lengths he could go to blast an opponent, or satisfy an animosity born Of a public grievance. His treatment of Steele proves how effectively he could erase the ink-stains of a meddler in state affairs.
