" Swift extends the metaphor to get in a few jibes at England ’ s mistreatment of Ireland, noting that " For this kind of commodity will not bear exportation, and flesh being of too tender a consistence, to admit a long continuance in salt, although perhaps I could name a country, which would be glad to eat up our whole nation without it.

George Wittkowsky argued that Swift ’ s main target in A Modest Proposal was not the conditions in Ireland, but rather the can-do spirit of the times that led people to devise a number of illogical schemes that would purportedly solve social and economic ills.

In response, Swift ’ s Modest Proposal was " a burlesque of projects concerning the poor ", that were in vogue during the early 18th century.

Critics differ about Swift ’ s intentions in using this faux-mathematical philosophy.

Charles K. Smith argues that Swift ’ s rhetorical style persuades the reader to detest the speaker and pity the Irish.

Swift ’ s specific strategy is twofold, using a " trap " to create sympathy for the Irish and a dislike of the narrator who, in the span of one sentence, " details vividly and with rhetorical emphasis the grinding poverty " but feels emotion solely for members of his own class.

Swift ’ s use of gripping details of poverty and his narrator ’ s cool approach towards them create " two opposing points of view " that " alienate the reader, perhaps unconsciously, from a narrator who can view with ' melancholy ' detachment a subject that Swift has directed us, rhetorically, to see in a much less detached way.

Swift uses the proposer ’ s serious tone to highlight the absurdity of his proposal.

James Johnson argued that A Modest Proposal was largely influenced and inspired by Tertullian ’ s Apology: a satirical attack against early Roman persecution of Christianity.

Johnson notes Swift ’ s obvious affinity for Tertullian and the bold stylistic and structural similarities between the works A Modest Proposal and Apology.

While Swift ’ s proposal is obviously not a serious economic proposal, George Wittkowsky, author of " Swift ’ s Modest Proposal: The Biography of an Early Georgian Pamphlet ", argues that to understand the piece fully, it is important to understand the economics of Swift ’ s time.

Louis A. Landa presents Swift ’ s A Modest Proposal as a critique of the popular and unjustified maxim of mercantilism in the 18th century that " people are the riches of a nation ".

Swift presents the dire state of Ireland and shows that mere population itself, in Ireland ’ s case, did not always mean greater wealth and economy.

In German, words starting with sch-( constituting the German phoneme ) would be intercalated between words with initial sca-and sci-( all incidentally loanwords ) instead of this graphic cluster appearing after the letter s, as though it were a single letter — a lexicographical policy which would be de rigueur in a dictionary of Albanian, i. e. dh -, ë -, gj -, ll -, rr -, th -, xh-and zh-( all representing phonemes and considered separate single letters ) would follow the letters d, e, g, l, n, r, t, x and z respectively.

And to " measure " is to place a shorter measuring length s successively ( q times ) along longer length l until the remaining portion r is less than the shorter length s. In modern words, remainder r = l − q * s, q being the quotient, or remainder r is the " modulus ", the integer-fractional part left over after the division.

If the relative priorities of these substituents need to be established, R takes priority over S. When this happens, the descriptor of the stereocenter is a lowercase letter ( r or s ) instead of the uppercase letter normally used.

As a consequence of the third point, if a and b are coprime and br ≡ bs ( mod a ), then r ≡ s ( mod a ) ( because we may " divide by b " when working modulo a ).

( x ( s ), y ( s )) where s represents arc length and r is the position vector.

and measure the parameter s from c. Assume r is to the right of c since the other case is implied by symmetry.

Finally, weight of the chain is represented by ( 0, − λgs ) where λ is the mass per unit length, g is the acceleration of gravity and s is the length of chain between c and r.

( r, s ) is then known as the Euclidean metric, and other metrics define non-Euclidean geometries.

where R < sub > s </ sub > is the radius of the star, R < sub > o </ sub > is the occulting object's radius, and r is the distance from the star to the occulting object.

This comes about by analogy with " January " ( which ends in "- uary " but not "- ruary "); as well as by a dissimilation effect whereby having two " r " s close to each other causes one to change for ease of pronunciation.
