By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire [1] [2] by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre.
Herman Moll: A map of the world shewing the course of Mr Dampiers voyage round it from 1679 to 1691, London 1697.Cropped region near the fictional island Lilliput.
