An attempt was made in this paper to elucidate some peculiarities of Swift's personal character by considering his relations with his female friends. The conclusions arrived at by the writer are, briefly, these: -that Swift sought for intellectual equals and companions of men in women; that 'friendship and esteem' was the theme he constantly harped upon to women, that in stead of the 'Prostitute' he tried to find in women, especially in Stella, the 'Mother' and the 'Child', and that in his delineation of Glumdalclitch in a Voyage to Brobdingnag of Gulliver's Travels we find unconsciously reflected his pathetic yearning after his beloved Stella.
