TO MRS. WHITEWAY.
MR. Swift's gimcracks of cups and balls, in order to my convenient shaving with ease and dispatch, together with the prescription on half a sheet of paper, was exactly followed, but some inconveniences attended; for I cut my face once or twice, was just twice as long in the performance, and left twice as much hair behind, as I have done this twelvemonth past. I return him therefore all his implements, and my own compliments, with abundance of thanks, because he hath fixed me during life in my old humdrum way. Give me a full and true account of all your healths, and so adieu. I am ever, &c.

TO THE SAME.
DEAR MADAM,
I AM truly and heartily glad that you are a little mended, and can lie on your belly, or side, not altogether on your back. You are much in the right not to stir, and so was Croker not to suffer ​you. I am not yet worse for the cold weather, but am angry at it. I am heartily sorry for yourself and daughter; but Mr. Swift dares not be sick, for his chief business is to look after you and your daughter. I walk only in my bedchamber and closet, which has also a fire. I am ever yours.
JON. SWIFT.
New Year's day, 1739-40.
I wish you may have many, and all healthy ones.

TO MRS. WHITEWAY.
NOV. 27, 1738.
I NEVER liked a letter from you on your usual days of coming here, for it always brings me bad news. I am heartily sorry for your son's continuing his illness, and that you have now two patients in your house. In the mean time pray take care of your health, chiefly your wicked colick, and Mrs. Harrison's disposition to a fever. I hope at least things will be better on Thursday, else I shall be full of the spleen, because it is a day you seem to regard, although I detest it, and I read the third chapter of Job that morning. I am deafer than when you saw me last, and indeed am quite cast down. My hearty love and service to Mrs. Harrison. I thoroughly pity you in your present circumstances. I am ever yours entirely. God support you!

TO MRS. WHITEWAY.
IT is impossible to have health in such desperate weather; but you are worse used than others. Every creature of either sex are uneasy; for our kingdom is turned to be a Muscovy, or worse. Even I cannot do any good by walking: Is not warmth good against rheumatick pains? I hope Deane Swift will be able to assist you both. I wish for a happy turn in the weather. I am doubly desolate, and wish I could sleep until the sun would comfort us. Would neither your son or daughter save you the pains of writing on your back? You are much more friendly to me than a thousand of them. Adieu. I am ever yours.
J. SWIFT.

TO MRS. WHITEWAY.
IN the midst of your grief and my own for the same misfortune, I cannot forbear complaining of your conduct through the whole course of your affliction, which made you not only neglect yourself, but the greater part of those who are left, and, by the same law of nature, have an equal title to your care. I ​writ on Monday to miss Harrison, that she would beg you, in my name, to remove some hours to a neighbour, that your ears might not be harassed with the preparations for what was then to be done. She told me you would not yield; and, at the same time, she much feared she must lose you too. Some degree of wisdom is required in the greatest calamity, because God requires it; because he knows what is best for us; because he never intended any thing like perfect happiness in the present life; and, because it is our duty, as well as interest, to submit. I will make you another proposal, and shall take it very unkindly if you do not comply. It is, that you would come hither this day immediately, where you will have a convenient apartment, and leave the scene that will be always putting you in mind of your loss. Your daughter can manage the house, and sometimes step to see you. All care shall be taken of you, and Dr. Robinson will visit you with more ease, if you have occasion for him. Mrs. Ridgeway shall attend you, and I will be your companion. Let miss Harrison return me an answer, and things shall be ready for you. I am ever, with true esteem and affection, dear madam, your most obedient servant and cousin,
J. SWIFT.

TO THE SAME.
FEBRUARY 3, 1739-40.
THE bad account I had of your health for many days or rather weeks, has made me continually uneasy to the last degree; and Mr. Swift, who was with me so long yesterday, could not in conscience give me any comfort: but your kind letter, has raised my spirits in some measure. I hope we have almost done with this cursed weather, yet still my garden is all in white. I read your letter to Dr. Wilson, who is somewhat better, and he resolves to apply your medicine, I mean your improvements of what you prescribe to add to his surgeon's method.
I am ever, dear madam, entirely yours,
J. SWIFT.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 13/From Jonathan Swift to Martha Whiteway - 8

TO THE SAME.
I HAVE been many days heartily concerned for your ill health; it is now twenty-five days since we have found nothing but frost and misery, and they may continue for as many more. This day is yet the coldest of them all. Dr. Wilson and I are both very uneasy to find no better message from you. I received, as I was going to dinner, the enclosed letter from your beloved of ——, which I shall make you happy with. It will show you the goodness, the wisdom, the gratitude, the truth, the civility of that excellent divine, adorned with an orthography (spelling) fit for himself. Pray read it a hundred times, but return it after you have read it a hundred times. My love and service to your son and daughter; let them both read the enclosed.
​I would not lose your lover's letter for 100l. It must be sent back by the bearer. Let me know the exact number of lies that are in it; but I fear that will take up your time too much. I am ever yours,
JON. SWIFT.

TO DR. CLANCY.
DEANERY HOUSE,
SOME friend of mine lent me a comedy, which I am told was written by you: I read it carefully, with much pleasure, on account both of the characters and the moral. I have no interest with the people of the playhouse, else I should gladly recommend it to them. I send you a small present, in ​such gold as will not give you trouble to change; for I much pity your loss of sight, which if it pleased God to let you enjoy, your other talents might have been your honest support, and have eased you of your present confinement. I am, sir, your well wishing friend and humble servant,
JONATH. SWIFT.
* ↑ The Sharper, the principal character of which performance was designed to represent colonel Chartres.
* ↑ This packet contained five pounds in small pieces of gold of different kinds, of which the largest did not exceed the value of five shillings. A little time after (says Dr. Clancy) I sent him a parcel of tickets: he kept but one, which he said he had paid for, and afterward sent me two four pound pieces for more. See Clancy's Memoirs, vol. II, page 56.
* ↑ Dr. Clancy had pursued the study of physick, and was patronised by Dr. Helsham; but having lost his sight by a cold in 1737, before he could regularly engage in the business of his profession, he kept a Latin school for his support.

TO MISS HAMILTON, OF CALEDON.
DEANERY HOUSE, DUBLIN,
SOME days ago, my lord Orrery had the assurance to show me a letter of yours to him, where you did me the honour to say many things in my favour; I read the letter with great delight; but ​at the same time I reproached his lordship for his presumption, in pretending to take a lady from me, who had made so many advances, and confessed herself to be nobody's goddess but mine. However, he had the boldness to assure me, that he had your consent to take him for a husband. I therefore command you never to accept him, without my leave, under my own hand and seal. And as I do not know any lady in this kingdom of so good sense, or so many accomplishments, I have at last, with a heavy heart, permitted him to make himself the happiest man in the world; for I know no fault in him, except his treacherous dealing with me.
Pray God make you happy in yourselves, and each other; and believe me to be, with the truest esteem and respect,
MADAM,
You most obedient and obliged servant,
J. SWIFT.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 13/From Jonathan Swift to Miss Harrison - 1

TO MISS HARRISON.
I AM in all possible concern for your present situation: I heartily wish you could prevail on your mother to remove immediately to some friend or neighbour's house, that she may be out of the sight and hearing of what must be done to day. I wish your eldest brother Whiteway would take care to carry her to some part of the town where she might continue until your house may be put in order, and every thing that might renew the memory of melancholy objects be removed. Let your brother Whiteway write to me, that I may know how you all are, particularly your poor mother.
I am ever, &c.

# The airconditioner

Published in New York Sun (before Sept. 13, 1897)
The apparatus which has been devised by Prof. Elmer Gates of Washington for the ready cooling of rooms in summer he declares to be capable of being more cheaply operated in summer than a coal stove in winter. It is simply a tall cylinder of galvanized iron resting in a large basin or pan, and connecting at the top with the ordinary stovepipe or with a tube leading out of the widow. In the top of the cylinder’s interior is a perforated tubular ring, and on a cock being turned on this ring an artificial shower is caused inside the cylinder. The water thus flowing down the sides takes a rapid spiral motion, which sucks the air down through the cylinder at a rapid rate, a fine spray inside cooling the air thus entering, reducing its humidity to normal and taking out all dust and bad odors; the water collects in the basin below, from which it is drained off, the cool air escaping through openings just above the water surface of the basin. In some experiments exhibited with this contrivance, the temperature of the air on entering the cooling cylinder was observed to be about ninety-two degrees while it was as low as sixty-eight on its coming out at the bottom. When the temperature of the laboratory is ninety-two degrees, the atmosphere inside can thus he cooled to about seventy within three hours, and the humidity at the same time may go down from one hundred to about normal.
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/Upon my Lord Brohall's Wedding

UPON MY LORD BROHALL'S WEDDING
Dialogue
s[uckling]. b[ond].
S. In bed, dull man,
When Love and Hymen's revels are begun,
And the church ceremonies past and done?
B. Why, who's gone mad to-day?
S. Dull heretick! thou would'st say,5 He that is gone to heaven's gone astray:
Brohall, our gallant friend,
Is gone to church, as martyrs to the fire:
Who marry, differ but i' th' end,
Since both do take10 The hardest way to what they most desire.
Nor staid he till the formal priest had done;
But, ere that part was finisht, his begun:
Which did reveal
The haste and eagerness men have to seal,15 That long to tell the money.
A sprig of willow in his hat he wore—
The loser's badge and liv'ry heretofore,
But now so ordered, that it might be taken
By lookers-on, forsaking as forsaken:20 And now and then
A careless smile broke forth, which spoke his mind,
And seem'd to say she might have been more kind.
When this (dear Jack) I saw,
Thought I,25 How weak is lover's law!
The bonds made there (like gipsies' knots) with ease
Are fast and loose, as they that hold them please.
B. But was the fair nymph's praise or power less,
That led him captive now to happiness,30 'Cause she did not a foreign aid despise,
But enter'd breaches made by others' eyes?
S.The gods forbid!
There must be some to shoot and batter down,
Others to force and to take in the town.35 To hawks (good Jack) and hearts
There may
Be sev'ral ways and arts:
One watches them perchance, and makes them tame;
Another, when they're ready, shews them game.40
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/Upon the First Sight of my Lady Seymour

UPON THE FIRST SIGHT OF MY LADY SEYMOUR
Wonder not much, if thus amaz'd I look;
Since I saw you, I have been planet-strook:
A beauty, and so rare, I did descry,
As, should I set her forth, you all, as I,
Would lose your hearts; for he that can5 Know her and live, he must be more than man—
An apparition of so sweet a creature,
That, credit me, she had not any feature
That did not speak her angel! But no more
Such heavenly things as these we must adore,10 Nor prattle of; lest, when we do but touch,
Or strive to know, we wrong her too too much.
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/Upon T. C. Having the Pox

UPON T. C. HAVING THE POX
Troth, Tom, I must confess I much admire
Thy water should find passage through the fire;
For fire and water never could agree:
These now by nature have some sympathy:
Sure then his way he forces, for all know5 The French ne'er grants a passage to his foe.
If it be so, his valour I must praise,
That being the weaker, yet can force his ways;
And wish that to his valour he had strength,
That he might drive the fire quite out at length;10 For, troth, as yet the fire gets the day,
For evermore the water runs away.
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/Upon my Lady Carlisle's Walking in Hampton Court Garden

UPON MY LADY CARLISLE'S WALKING IN HAMPTON COURT GARDEN
Dialogue
T. C.J. S.
Thom.
And flowers, as if they had desir'd
No other sun, start from their beds,
And for a sight steal out their heads?
Heard'st thou not musick when she talk'd?5 And didst not find that, as she walk'd
She threw rare perfumes all about,
Such as bean-blossoms newly out,
Or chafed spices give——?
J. S.
I did not smell; nor found that from
Her passing by ought sprung up new:
The flowers had all their birth from you;
For I pass'd o'er the selfsame walk,
And did not find one single stalk15 Of any thing that was to bring
This unknown after-after-spring.
Thom.
A thing so near a Deity
Move up and down, and feel no change?20
J. S.
I had my thoughts, but not your way;
All are not born, sir, to the bay:
Alas! Tom, I am flesh and blood,
And was consulting how I could25 In spite of masks and hoods descry
The parts denied unto the eye:
I was undoing all she wore;
And, had she walkt but one turn more,
Eve in her first state had not been30 More naked, or more plainly seen.
Thom.
There is great danger in that face;
But, hadst thou view'd her leg and thigh,
And, upon that discovery,35 Search'd after parts that are more dear
(As Fancy seldom stops so near),
No time or age had ever seen
So lost a thing as thou hadst been.
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/Upon Sir John Laurence's Bringing Water over the Hills to my L. Middlesex his House at Witten

UPON SIR JOHN LAURENCE'S BRINGING WATER OVER THE HILLS TO MY L. MIDDLESEX HIS HOUSE AT WITTEN
And is the water come? sure 't cannot be;
It runs too much against philosophy:
For heavy bodies to the centre bend;
Light bodies only naturally ascend.
How comes this then to pass? The good knight's skill5 Could nothing do without the water's will:
Then 'twas the water's love that made it flow;
For love will creep where well it cannot go.
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/Upon Two Sisters

UPON TWO SISTERS
Believe 't, young man, I can as eas'ly tell
How many yards and inches 'tis to hell,
Unriddle all predestination,
Or the nice points we now dispute upon.
Had the three goddesses been just as fair,5 *****It had not been so easily decided;
And sure the apple must have been divided:
It must, it must; he's impudent, dares say
Which is the handsomer till one's away.10 And it was necessary it should be so:
Wise Nature did foresee it, and did know,
When she had fram'd the eldest, that each heart
Must at the first sight feel the blind god's dart:
And, sure as can be, had she made but one,15 No plague had been more sure destruction;
For we had lik'd, lov'd, burnt to ashes too,
In half the time that we are choosing now:
Variety and equal objects make
The busy eye still doubtful which to take,20 This lip, this hand, this foot, this eye, this face,
The other's body, gesture, or her grace;
And, whilst we thus dispute which of the two,
We unresolv'd go out, and nothing do.
He sure is happiest that has hopes of either;25 Next him is he that sees them both together.
