The Benefits of Farting Explained by Jonathan Swift was published in pamphlet
form in 1722. What is the nature, essence and definition of a fart? What are
the consequences and disadvantages of suppressing one? Why is farting
considered to be a taboo? Swift's The Benefit of Farting argues eloquently, in
a forceful and a posteriori fashion, that most of the distempers thought to
affect the fairer sex are due to flatulence not adequately vented. To complete
the excursus into this venerable and age-old human activity, Charles James
Fox's Essay upon Wind provides a detailed analysis, classification and history
of farting, peppered with wit and curious anecdotes about particularly eminent
farts of the past.

A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People From Being a
Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the
Public, commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a satirical essay
written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729. Swift suggests
that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling
their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This satirical hyperbole
mocks heartless attitudes towards the poor, as well as Irish policy in
general.
