This particular copy carries amendments in Swift&#8217;s own handwriting. There were printing errors in the first edition and Motte had made some changes without Swift&#8217;s knowledge to avoid possible legal action by those people whom Swift had criticised openly. Swift was angry and made corrections in preparation for the second edition.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/demo.brandingbay.com\/ARL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Armagh-Public-Library-138.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-1132\" title=\"Armagh Public Library 138\" src=\"http:\/\/demo.brandingbay.com\/ARL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Armagh-Public-Library-138-1024x787.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"http:\/\/demo.brandingbay.com\/ARL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Armagh-Public-Library-138-1024x787.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/demo.brandingbay.com\/ARL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Armagh-Public-Library-138-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/demo.brandingbay.com\/ARL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/GulliversTravelsPage51-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1201 size-large\" title=\"GulliversTravelsPage51 (2)\" src=\"http:\/\/demo.brandingbay.com\/ARL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/GulliversTravelsPage51-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"893\" srcset=\"http:\/\/demo.brandingbay.com\/ARL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/GulliversTravelsPage51-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/demo.brandingbay.com\/ARL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/GulliversTravelsPage51-2-224x300.jpg 224w, http:\/\/demo.brandingbay.com\/ARL\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/GulliversTravelsPage51-2.jpg 1524w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>&#8216;Gulliver&#8217;s Travels&#8217; was written by Dean Jonathan Swift and has become a classic in English and world literature.
