Many sequels followed the initial publishing of the Travels. The earliest of these was the anonymously authored Memoirs of the Court of Lilliput,[30] published 1727, which expands the account of Gulliver's stays in Lilliput and Blefuscu by adding several gossipy anecdotes about scandalous episodes at the Lilliputian court. Abb Pierre Desfontaines, the first French translator of Swift's story, wrote a sequel, Le Nouveau Gulliver ou Voyages de Jean Gulliver, fils du capitaine Lemuel Gulliver (The New Gulliver, or the travels of John Gulliver, son of Captain Lemuel Gulliver), published in 1730.[31] Gulliver's son has various fantastic, satirical adventures.

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.

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 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.

Thus, gentle reader, I have given thee a faithful history of my travels forsixteen years and above seven months: wherein I have not been so studious ofornament as of truth. I could, perhaps, like others, have astonished thee withstrange improbable tales; but I rather chose to relate plain matter of fact, inthe simplest manner and style; because my principal design was to inform, andnot to amuse thee.

I could heartily wish a law was enacted, that every traveller, before he werepermitted to publish his voyages, should be obliged to make oath before theLord High Chancellor, that all he intended to print was absolutely true to thebest of his knowledge; for then the world would no longer be deceived, as itusually is, while some writers, to make their works pass the better upon thepublic, impose the grossest falsities on the unwary reader. I have perusedseveral books of travels with great delight in my younger days; but havingsince gone over most parts of the globe, and been able to contradict manyfabulous accounts from my own observation, it has given me a great disgustagainst this part of reading, and some indignation to see the credulity ofmankind so impudently abused. Therefore, since my acquaintance were pleased tothink my poor endeavours might not be unacceptable to my country, I imposed onmyself, as a maxim never to be swerved from, that I would strictly adhere totruth; neither indeed can I be ever under the least temptation to vary from it,while I retain in my mind the lectures and example of my noble master and theother illustrious Houyhnhnms of whom I had so long the honour to be anhumble hearer.

I know very well, how little reputation is to be got bywritings which require neither genius nor learning, nor indeed any othertalent, except a good memory, or an exact journal. I know likewise, thatwriters of travels, like dictionary-makers, are sunk into oblivion by theweight and bulk of those who come last, and therefore lie uppermost. And it ishighly probable, that such travellers, who shall hereafter visit the countriesdescribed in this work of mine, may, by detecting my errors (if there be any),and adding many new discoveries of their own, jostle me out of vogue, and standin my place, making the world forget that ever I was an author. This indeedwould be too great a mortification, if I wrote for fame: but as my soleintention was the public good, I cannot be altogether disappointed. For who canread of the virtues I have mentioned in the glorious Houyhnhnms, withoutbeing ashamed of his own vices, when he considers himself as the reasoning,governing animal of his country? I shall say nothing of those remote nationswhere Yahoos preside; among which the least corrupted are theBrobdingnagians; whose wise maxims in morality and government it wouldbe our happiness to observe. But I forbear descanting further, and rather leavethe judicious reader to his own remarks and application. be457b7860
