"It is a maxim among lawyers,that whatever hath been done before,may legally be done again: and therefore they take special care to record all the decisions formerly made against common justice and the general reason of man. These, under the name of precedents, they produce as authorities to justify the most iniquitous opinions; and the judges never fail of directing accordingly" - Jonathan Swift summarizing up the practice of law
All aboard, the ride through wild fantasies and captivating scenarios is a smooth one; fuelled by imagination, and under the direction of Swift's sober and unadorned tone, you will find yourself immersed in the description of fantastical places, as though a historical account of a real people and place.
