Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Regions of the World
This edition of Gulliver's Travels, prepared in 1900 by Thomas M. Balliet, superintendent of schools in Springfield, Massachusetts, contains the first two voyages only: Gulliver among the tiny Lilliputians and Gulliver among the giants of Brobdingnag. These are the parts of Swift's satire that children adopted almost as soon as the book appeared in 1726, and Balliet's preface explains why he thought them suitable for schools, with the harsher later voyages left out. The text is lightly edited, supplied with notes and illustrated. Readers who want the complete work, including the voyages to Laputa and to the land of the Houyhnhnms, will find the full text elsewhere on Vinteuil; this version is a good introduction for younger readers. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
