First, Swift says: “A very worthy person...was recently pleased to discuss this matter in refining my project. He said that many of the gentlemen of this kingdom having recently destroyed their deer, he thought that the lack of venison might be well supplied by the bodies of young boys and girls, under the age of fourteen, nor under twelve years…” (p. 298). He goes on to say that the man is American and that he disagrees because the males' meat is too coarse and the females would soon be breeding. He brings this up to prove that he is not alone in this idea and also to attack “savage” Americans. The other rebuttal might make up the main part of Swift's essay. He begins by reiterating his proposition and then expresses: "I see no objection which can be raised against this proposition, unless it be insisted that the number of people will thus be considerably reduced in the kingdom" (p 300). ). He goes on to say, “Therefore let no one speak to me of any other expedients…” Swift then goes on to list a plethora of ideas to help solve the problem (p. 300). Ironically, these ideas are actually logical ideas. Ideas that are probably Swift's own ideas. This adds to his implicit argument and shows the reader that Ireland is not helpless, it just needs English.
