My father had a small estate in Nottinghamshire; I was the third of five sons.

I dwell the longer upon this subject, from the desire I have to make the society of an English yahoo by any means not insupportable; and therefore I here entreat those who have any tincture of this absurd vice, that they will not presume to come in my sight.

The LT work is Jonathan Swift's full, 4-part, 1726 original of Gulliver's Travels. Please do not combine it with either any abridged, young readers' versions, or other adaptations of this work, or with any anthologies of Swift's work, or with works of other authors (e.g., Gulliver's Travels AND Tristram Shandy). Thank you.
