The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Bickerstaff-Partridge Papers by Jonathan Swift: the evening I hear bells and guns, and see the blazing of a

A young admiral of noble birth, does likewise this month gain
immortal honour by a great achievement.
The affairs of Poland are this month entirely settled: Augustus
resigns his pretensions which he had again taken up for some
time: Stanislaus is peaceably possess'd of the throne; and the
King of Sweden declares for the Emperor.
I cannot omit one particular accident here at home; that near the
end of this month much mischief will be done at Bartholomew Fair,
by the fall of a booth.
