Before he quitted Redriff, he left the custody of the following papers in myhands, with the liberty to dispose of them as I should think fit. I havecarefully perused them three times. The style is very plain and simple; and theonly fault I find is, that the author, after the manner of travellers, is alittle too circumstantial. There is an air of truth apparent through the whole;and indeed the author was so distinguished for his veracity, that it became asort of proverb among his neighbours at Redriff, when any one affirmed a thing,to say, it was as true as if Mr. Gulliver had spoken it.

This volume would have been at least twice as large, if I had not made bold tostrike out innumerable passages relating to the winds and tides, as well as tothe variations and bearings in the several voyages, together with the minutedescriptions of the management of the ship in storms, in the style of sailors;likewise the account of longitudes and latitudes; wherein I have reason toapprehend, that Mr. Gulliver may be a little dissatisfied. But I was resolvedto fit the work as much as possible to the general capacity of readers.However, if my own ignorance in sea affairs shall have led me to commit somemistakes, I alone am answerable for them. And if any traveller hath a curiosityto see the whole work at large, as it came from the hands of the author, I willbe ready to gratify him.

If the censure of the Yahoos could any way affect me, I should havegreat reason to complain, that some of them are so bold as to think my book oftravels a mere fiction out of mine own brain, and have gone so far as to drophints, that the Houyhnhnms and Yahoos have no more existence thanthe inhabitants of Utopia.

My father had a small estate in Nottinghamshire; I was the third of five sons.He sent me to Emanuel College in Cambridge at fourteen years old, where Iresided three years, and applied myself close to my studies; but the charge ofmaintaining me, although I had a very scanty allowance, being too great for anarrow fortune, I was bound apprentice to Mr. James Bates, an eminent surgeonin London, with whom I continued four years. My father now and then sending mesmall sums of money, I laid them out in learning navigation, and other parts ofthe mathematics, useful to those who intend to travel, as I always believed itwould be, some time or other, my fortune to do. When I left Mr. Bates, I wentdown to my father: where, by the assistance of him and my uncle John, and someother relations, I got forty pounds, and a promise of thirty pounds a year tomaintain me at Leyden: there I studied physic two years and seven months,knowing it would be useful in long voyages.

The first request I made, after I had obtained my liberty, was, that I mighthave license to see Mildendo, the metropolis; which the emperor easily grantedme, but with a special charge to do no hurt either to the inhabitants or theirhouses. The people had notice, by proclamation, of my design to visit the town.The wall which encompassed it is two feet and a half high, and at least eleveninches broad, so that a coach and horses may be driven very safely round it;and it is flanked with strong towers at ten feet distance. I stepped over thegreat western gate, and passed very gently, and sidling, through the twoprincipal streets, only in my short waistcoat, for fear of damaging the roofsand eaves of the houses with the skirts of my coat. I walked with the utmostcircumspection, to avoid treading on any stragglers who might remain in thestreets, although the orders were very strict, that all people should keep intheir houses, at their own peril. The garret windows and tops of houses were socrowded with spectators, that I thought in all my travels I had not seen a morepopulous place. The city is an exact square, each side of the wall being fivehundred feet long. The two great streets, which run across and divide it intofour quarters, are five feet wide. The lanes and alleys, which I could notenter, but only view them as I passed, are from twelve to eighteen inches. Thetown is capable of holding five hundred thousand souls: the houses are fromthree to five stories: the shops and markets well provided.

I hope the gentle reader will excuse me for dwelling on these and the likeparticulars, which, however insignificant they may appear to groveling vulgarminds, yet will certainly help a philosopher to enlarge his thoughts andimagination, and apply them to the benefit of public as well as private life,which was my sole design in presenting this and other accounts of my travels tothe world; wherein I have been chiefly studious of truth, without affecting anyornaments of learning or of style. But the whole scene of this voyage made sostrong an impression on my mind, and is so deeply fixed in my memory, that, incommitting it to paper I did not omit one material circumstance: however, upona strict review, I blotted out several passages of less moment which were inmy first copy, for fear of being censured as tedious and trifling, whereoftravellers are often, perhaps not without justice, accused.

I had now been two years in this country; and about the beginning of the third,Glumdalclitch and I attended the king and queen, in a progress to the southcoast of the kingdom. I was carried, as usual, in my travelling-box, which as Ihave already described, was a very convenient closet, of twelve feet wide. AndI had ordered a hammock to be fixed, by silken ropes from the four corners atthe top, to break the jolts, when a servant carried me before him on horseback,as I sometimes desired; and would often sleep in my hammock, while we were uponthe road. On the roof of my closet, not directly over the middle of thehammock, I ordered the joiner to cut out a hole of a foot square, to give meair in hot weather, as I slept; which hole I shut at pleasure with a board thatdrew backward and forward through a groove.

How often did I then wish myself with my dear Glumdalclitch, from whom onesingle hour had so far divided me! And I may say with truth, that in the midstof my own misfortunes I could not forbear lamenting my poor nurse, the griefshe would suffer for my loss, the displeasure of the queen, and the ruin of herfortune. Perhaps many travellers have not been under greater difficulties anddistress than I was at this juncture, expecting every moment to see my boxdashed to pieces, or at least overset by the first violent blast, or risingwave. A breach in one single pane of glass would have been immediate death: norcould any thing have preserved the windows, but the strong lattice wires placedon the outside, against accidents in travelling. I saw the water ooze in atseveral crannies, although the leaks were not considerable, and I endeavouredto stop them as well as I could. I was not able to lift up the roof of mycloset, which otherwise I certainly should have done, and sat on the top of it;where I might at least preserve myself some hours longer, than by being shut up(as I may call it) in the hold. Or if I escaped these dangers for a day or two,what could I expect but a miserable death of cold and hunger? I was four hoursunder these circumstances, expecting, and indeed wishing, every moment to be mylast.

As I was on the road, observing the littleness of the houses, the trees, thecattle, and the people, I began to think myself in Lilliput. I was afraid oftrampling on every traveller I met, and often called aloud to have them standout of the way, so that I had like to have gotten one or two broken heads formy impertinence.

I thought this account of the struldbrugs might be some entertainment tothe reader, because it seems to be a little out of the common way; at least Ido not remember to have met the like in any book of travels that has come to myhands; and if I am deceived, my excuse must be, that it is necessary fortravellers who describe the same country, very often to agree in dwelling onthe same particulars, without deserving the censure of having borrowed ortranscribed from those who wrote before them.

In this desolate condition I advanced forward, and soon got upon firm ground,where I sat down on a bank to rest myself, and consider what I had best do.When I was a little refreshed, I went up into the country, resolving to delivermyself to the first savages I should meet, and purchase my life from them bysome bracelets, glass rings, and other toys, which sailors usually providethemselves with in those voyages, and whereof I had some about me. The land wasdivided by long rows of trees, not regularly planted, but naturally growing;there was great plenty of grass, and several fields of oats. I walked verycircumspectly, for fear of being surprised, or suddenly shot with an arrow frombehind, or on either side. I fell into a beaten road, where I saw many tractsof human feet, and some of cows, but most of horses. At last I beheld severalanimals in a field, and one or two of the same kind sitting in trees. Theirshape was very singular and deformed, which a little discomposed me, so that Ilay down behind a thicket to observe them better. Some of them coming forwardnear the place where I lay, gave me an opportunity of distinctly marking theirform. Their heads and breasts were covered with a thick hair, some frizzled,and others lank; they had beards like goats, and a long ridge of hair downtheir backs, and the fore parts of their legs and feet; but the rest of theirbodies was bare, so that I might see their skins, which were of a brown buffcolour. They had no tails, nor any hair at all on their buttocks, except aboutthe anus, which, I presume, nature had placed there to defend them as they saton the ground, for this posture they used, as well as lying down, and oftenstood on their hind feet. They climbed high trees as nimbly as a squirrel, forthey had strong extended claws before and behind, terminating in sharp points,and hooked. They would often spring, and bound, and leap, with prodigiousagility. The females were not so large as the males; they had long lank hair ontheir heads, but none on their faces, nor any thing more than a sort of down onthe rest of their bodies, except about the anus and pudenda. The dugs hungbetween their forefeet, and often reached almost to the ground as they walked.The hair of both sexes was of several colours, brown, red, black, and yellow.Upon the whole, I never beheld, in all my travels, so disagreeable an animal,or one against which I naturally conceived so strong an antipathy. So that,thinking I had seen enough, full of contempt and aversion, I got up, andpursued the beaten road, hoping it might direct me to the cabin of some Indian.I had not got far, when I met one of these creatures full in my way, and comingup directly to me. The ugly monster, when he saw me, distorted several ways,every feature of his visage, and stared, as at an object he had never seenbefore; then approaching nearer, lifted up his fore-paw, whether out ofcuriosity or mischief I could not tell; but I drew my hanger, and gave him agood blow with the flat side of it, for I durst not strike with the edge,fearing the inhabitants might be provoked against me, if they should come toknow that I had killed or maimed any of their cattle. When the beast felt thesmart, he drew back, and roared so loud, that a herd of at least forty cameflocking about me from the next field, howling and making odious faces; but Iran to the body of a tree, and leaning my back against it, kept them off bywaving my hanger. Several of this cursed brood, getting hold of the branchesbehind, leaped up into the tree, whence they began to discharge theirexcrements on my head; however, I escaped pretty well by sticking close to thestem of the tree, but was almost stifled with the filth, which fell about me onevery side. be457b7860
