Details |
Cartoon, Swift on a Large Scale -- a comment on Gladstone's assigning the surplus from Irish Church endowments (resulting from the disestablishment of the Irish Church) for humanitarian purposes. The ghost of Dean Swift approves of his action, but thinks he should have credited him with the original idea, as he also left money in his will for similar purposes.
