A Modest Proposal, by Jonathan Swift

While we breathlessly await the arrival of the next installment of Dog Oil Press, here's a bit of classic black humor, in the form of an essay by Jonathan Swift. Most of us know him better as the author of Gulliver's Travels, rather than an early practitioner (sort of) of the dead baby joke. 

Read Swift's essay at Project Gutenberg.
