' Swift and Partridge '
Shane Leslie
Dean Swift 's practical joke on John Partridge , the astrologer and almanac-maker, in 1708, is one of the supreme masterpieces in the history of the art of hoaxing. Under the name of Isaac Bickerstaff , Swift published an almanac of his own predicting Partridge's death on a certain day, and when the date had passed issued a pamphlet announcing the fulfilment of his prophecy. The report was widely believed and the unfortunate Partridge had considerable difficulty in persuading people that he was still alive.
