“The ‘Tale of a Tub’ is, in my apprehension, the masterpiece of Swift; certainly Rabelais has nothing superior, even in invention, nor anything so condensed, so pointed, so full of real meaning, of biting satire, of felicitous analogy. The ‘Battle of the Books’ is such an improvement on the similar combat in the Lutrin, that we can hardly own it as an imitation.”—Hallam.
“If he had never written either the ‘Tale of a Tub’ or ‘Gulliver’s Travels,’ his name merely as a poet would have come down to us, and have gone down to posterity, with well-earned honours.”—Hazlitt.
