Drapier's Letters
A series of letters written by Dean Swift to the people of
Ireland, advising them not to take the copper money coined by William
Wood, by patent granted by George I. These letters crushed the infamous
job, and the patent was cancelled.
Dean Swift signed himself M. B. Drapier in these letters.
