text_original: The letter was signed * M. B., Drapier/ This was the first of those famous Drapier's Letters which convulsed Ireland with a passion like that preceding a great popular insurrection. It may be questioned whether tiie pamphlets of a literary politician ever before or since worked with so powerful an influence on the mind of a nation as these marvellous letters. The author of ^ The Drapier's Letters,' we need hardly say, was Dean Swift.
