Throughout the course of 1724 Swift wrote five pamphlets under the pseudonym 'M.B. Drapier' that were calculated to rouse Irish solidarity against proposed new farthings and halfpence intended for Ireland, being farthings and halfpence that were deemed to be of low intrinsic value and which were being produced in England by one William Wood. This is the second and with little doubt the most powerful of those five pamphlets. (Swift wrote two further pamphlets as the Drapier in 1724 and 1725 but left these unpublished until the 1735 George Faulkner-published edition of his Collected Works - hence the collection known as 'The Drapier's Letters' has ever since consisted of seven).
