for anyone who is familiar with this satirical piece... when Swift says (in the 9th paragraph i believe) "I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London[...]", is he talking about an American as we know it today (as in someone from the colonies, what we know as the USA)?
or, by American, is he referring to a person of another descent? maybe south american? or what? PLEASE HELP!
