was expired, he left Mr. Bates, and
studied physic two years at Leyden,
in Holland.
Soon after his return from Leyden,
he was recommended to be surgeon
to the Swallow, captain Abraham
Parnell, commander, with whom he
made a voyage or two into the Le-
vant, and other parts. He then re-
solved to settle in London, and his
old master, Mr. Bates, recommended
him to several patients. He took a
house in the Old Jewry, and being
advised to marry, he espoused Miss
Polly. Purton, daughter of a hosier
in Newgate-street, with whom he re-
ceived a portion of four hundred
pounds. . - {
But Mr. Bates dying in two years
after, and Mr. Gulliver having few
ſriends, his business fell off very much.
And therefore, having consulted his
wife, he determined to go to sea
again. He was surgeon successively

He then advanced near half a mile
up the country, but could not disco-

lay down on the grass, which was ve-

hours. He awaked just at day-break,

When the people observed that he lay
quiet, they discharged no more ar-

a stage at a little distance, about a
foot and a h; gh; which they had
ascended it by a ladder. One of

minutes without any sign
of arger, and yet with great resolu-
tion; pointing often towards the me-

tropolis, which was distant about half
a mile, whither it was his majesty’s
pleasure that he should be conveyed.
Mr. Gulliver made signs that he should
be glad to be released, and the ambas-
sador understood very well what he
meant, for he shook his head by way
of disapprobation, and signified that
he must be carried as a prisoner; he
therefore gave tokens that they might
do what they would with him; where-
upon the Hurgo and his train with-
drew with cheerful countenances.
Soon after the people shouted out,

so relaxed, that he was able to turn
upon his right side. They then rub-
bed his hands and face with an oint-
ment which took off the smart of
their arrows; and this circumstance,
added to the plentiful meal he had
, made, caused him to fall fast asleep.

and the king immediately set five
hundred carpenters to work, to pre-
pare an engine by which he might be
conveyed to the capital. It was a
wooden frame, three inches high, se-
ven feet long, and four broad, and
moved upon twenty-two wheels. It
was brought close to Mr. Gulliver’s
side as he lay. To raise so immense
a creature upon this vehicle, eighty
poles, each of a foot high, were
erected; and very strong ropes, of the
bigness of pack thread, were fastened
by hooks to as many bandages which
the work men had girt round his neck,
hands, body and legs. Nine hun-
dred of the strongest men were em-
ployed to draw up these cords, by
pullies fastened on the poles, and in
a few hours he was raised, and slung
into the engine, and tied down. All
this Mr. Gulliver was told after-
wards; for while the whole opera-
tion was performing, he lay fast a-

tened by ninety-one chains, which
were fixed to his leg by thirty-six
padlocks. Just opposite stood a fa-
mous turret, five feet high; to the
top of which the emperor and many
lords ascended, for the sake of seeing
so large a monster; vast numbers of
people came also upon the same er-
rand ; and when the workmen found
that they had thoroughly secured him,
they cut all the strings with which he
was bound; and upon his rising up-
on his legs, they showed the greates
marks of wonder and astonishme

The emperor having descended
from the tower, came forward, with
the queen, and many ladies to ex-
amine Mr. Gulliver more minutely.
He had ordered his cooks and butlers
to prepare ten waggon loads of meat,
and ten of wine; and he and his at-
tendants sat at some distance to see
him dine. With regard to the em-
peror's person, he was taller by a quar-
ter of an inch than any of his subjects,
w ough to strike them all
with awe. His dress was plain and
his head, adorned with jewels and
a plume of feathers. He suffered

and, on our stepping into it, found
ourselves mid-leg deep in a sort o

fully. In the right waistcoat pocket,

stances folded, about the bi gness of
three men, tied with a cable, and

of the white ones were so heavy, that
we could hardly lift them. In the
left pocket, were two strange engines,
with one of which he told us he shav.
ed himself, and that with the other
he cut his victuals. There were two
other smaller pockets, from one of
which he took a large globe, half sil-
ver, and half of some transparent me-
tal; this he put close to our ears, and
we were surprised with a noise as loud
as the fa ll of a water mill : this en-
gine he called his oracle, and said,
pointed out the time of every ac-
his life; we therefore presume
he God that he worships. From

from which hung a sword, the length

bag, containing two cells, in one of
which were several balls as big as a
man’s head, and which we were scarce
able to lift; the other was filled with
black grains, about fifty of which we
could hold in the palms of our
hands. . x-
When this inventory was read
over, the king desired Mr. Gulliver to
give up the several particulars; he
therefore first took his scimitar out
of the scabbard, and waving it back-
ward and forward, the reflection of
the sun greatly dazzled the eyes of
the beholders. The next thing he
demanded, was one of the hollow
iron pillars. Mr. Gulliver took it
out of his pocket, and charging it
with powder only, he let it off in
the air; on which hundreds of the
Lilliputians fell on the ground, as if



d been dead, and even the em-
peror was greatly confounded. His

ven inches broad, so that a coach
may be driven upon the top of it,
and there are strong towers at the
distance of every ten feet. Mr. Gul-
liver easily strode over the wall, and
went carefully through the principal
streets in his waistcoat only, for fear
the skirts of his coat might damage
the roofs and eves of the houses.
The garret windows, and the tops
of the houses were so crowded with
spectators, that Mr. Gulliver imagin-
ed the city must contain at least five
hundred thousand souls. Some of the
houses were five stories high, the
markets well provided, and the shops
very rich; the city is an exact squ
of five hundred feet; two gre
streets, which devide it into qu

Mr. Gulliver then desired the se-

life, to defend his person and state

drowned, and that the enemy’s fleet
were approaching in a hostile manner.
However, as the sea became shallow-
er and shallower every step, he was
soon within hearing, and then hold-
ing up the end of the cable by which
the fleet were fastened together, he
cried aloud, “ Long live the most
puissant Emperor of Lilliput !” He
was received at his landing with great
encomiums, and created a Nardic,
which is the highest title of honour.
Soon after the seizure of the Ble-
fuscuan fleet, ambassadors were sent
from that nation with humble offers
of peace. Some time after, Mr. Gul-
liver was alarmed at midnight with
horrid cries; and several of the cour-
tiers intreated him to repair immedi-
ately to the palace, for her majesty’s
apartments were on fire, by the care-
lessness of a maid of honour, who fell
asleep while she was reading a ro-
mance. Mr. Gulliver got up, and

made the best of his way to the me-
tropolis; he might easily have stifled
the fire with the flap of his coat, but,
that in his haste, he had unfortunate-
ly left behind him. The case was
truly deplorable. Mr. Gulliver had,
however, drunk plentifully of wine;
and this, by his coming very near the
flames, and by his labouring to
quench them, began to operate, and
was voided in such a quantity, and
was so properly applied, that in three
minutes the fire was totally extin-
ed. By the laws of the realm,

suaded to live in artments at

terwards, and privately vowed ven-
geance against the hero of our story.
CHAP. V.
MR. GUI. LI v ER's suit of servants
was very numerous. He had three
hundred cooks to dress his victu-
als. He used to place twenty wait-
ers upon the table, a hundred more
attended on the ground, some with
dishes of meat, and some with wine.
A shoulder of mutton was one mouth-
ful, and a barrel of liquor a reason-
able draught. Once, indeed, he had
a surloin of beef, so immensely large,
that he made three bites of it. The
geese and turkies were a scanty mouth-
ful, and of their smaller fowls he fre-
quently took up twenty or thirty at a
time upon the end of his knife.
Flimmap, the treasurer, was always
a mortal enemy to Mr. Gulliver.
He represented to the emperor the
low cóndition of the treasury ; and,
45
in short went so far as to inform him.
that the Man-mountain had cost his
majesty above a million of money in
eating and drinking, and that it was
highly advisable that the first fair op-
portunity should be taken of dismiss-
ing him.
CHAP. VI.
WHILE Mr. Gulliver was pre-
paring to pay a visit to the emperor
of Blefuscu, a person of rank call-
ed at his house privately, and in
the night. After the common salu-
tations were over, the worthy noble-
man informed him, that at the insti-
gation of Flim nap the treasurer, Len-
toc the commander in chief, Lan-
con the chamberlain, and Balinuff the
grand justiciary, his majesty was re-
solved to impeach him of treason, and
other capital crimes. Upon which,
he resolved to leave the island, and to
visit the emperor of Blefuscu. He
went to that side of the island where



46
the fleet lay, seized upon a large man
of war, tied a cable to the prow, heav-
ed anchor, and after stripping, put
his clothes into the vessel, and draw-
ing it after him, soon arrived at the
port of Blefuscu. His majesty, the
royal family, and great officers of the
court, immediately came out to re-
ceive him. The reception he met
with, was suitable to the generosity
of so great a prince; but for want of

He came up with her at six in the
evening, and was overjoyed to see her

with all his cargo of provisions. The
