Statesman and author, Temple was involved in the machinations of the Anglo-Dutch War. Johnathan Swift was his amanuensis off and on for 10 years, helping in the preparation of Temple's writings. Indeed Temple was said to have aided in the revisions of 'Tale of a Tub.' This work reflecting his long experience as representative in Holland was well received at home and abroad.
