Which part of this excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift is directed against a particular social class in Ireland?
I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to
have the best title to the children.
Infant's flesh will be in season throughout the year, but more plentiful in March, and a little before and after; for we are told by a grave author, an
eminent French physician, that fish being a prolifick dyet, there are more children born in Roman Catholic countries about nine months after Lent,
the markets will be more glutted than usual, because the number of Popish infants, is at least three to one in this kingdom, and therefore it will
have one other collateral advantage, by lessening the number of Papists among us.
