This satirical treatise on the art of contemplation proves that nothing is off-limits when it comes to humor. Edward Ward and Jonathan Swift use their considerable talents to poke fun at the idea of meditating in a privy, arguing that it is just as legitimate a location for contemplation as any other. This irreverent and hilarious work is a must-read for fans of satirical literature.
