Framed Print of A proposal for correcting, improving and ascertaining the English tongue, by Jonathan Swift, 1712 (engraving)

BL4072786 A proposal for correcting, improving and ascertaining the English tongue, by Jonathan Swift, 1712 (engraving) by English School, (18th century); British Library, London, UK; (add.info.: Jonathan Swift, 1667-1745.
Published London : Benj. Tooke, 1712.
In 1712, the English language, according to satirist Jonathan Swift, was in chaos. He outlined his complaints in this public letter to Robert Harley, leader of the government, proposing the appointment of experts to advise on English use. The model was to be based on that of the Academie Francaise, which had been regulating French since 1634. His proposal, like all the others, came to nothing. To this day no official regulation of the English language exists.); From the British Library archive.
