G--"GULLIVER'S TRAVELS INTO SEVERAL REMOTE NATIONS OF THE WORLD"
BY JONATHAN SWIFT
Though abridged texts are generally a presumption
and a blunder, there is little warrant for school
children's having more than the first two voyages,
to Lilliput and to Brobdingnag, of this remarkable
book. An expurgated edition is probably necessary
in an age accustomed to a cloak of conventional
insinuation in a story rather than to the blunt
frankness that obtained in the times of Swift.
