answer: below

explanation:

some phrases have become common expressions because the works in which they appear were printed repeatedly in diverse publications. that is the only way they could have entered into such widespread popular usage. such a phrase is “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,” and in a splendid bibliography stephen m. matyas, jr., has traced its dissemination up through 1825.[i]

“early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise”; “lost time is never found again”; “no gain, without pain”—these are other phrases that are part of our language, still seen by parents and grandparents as common-sense words of wisdom, maxims worthy of being instilled in the younger generation.

to realize such influential texts must have been broadly disseminated over many decades is one thing. to document their dissemination is another. once the task was nearly impossible because such short texts were—from our angle of vision—“buried” in newspapers, periodicals, popular biographies, histories, school readers, advice manuals, and the like. to contemporaries, these “buried” texts were inescapable because of the diverse ways in which they were published. now, to digitization, we can see why earlier americans repeatedly ran across them, sometimes even taking them in orally as well as visually. newspapers were, after all, sometimes read aloud, and children’s books certainly were.

What is the meaning of each underlined word in these excerpts from "a modest proposal" by jonathan swift? i think it is agreed by all parties, that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom, a very great additional grievance; and therefore whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound and useful members of the common-wealth, would deserve so well of the publick, as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation. some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and i have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. the word prodigious means . the word desponding means .
