GULLIVER'S TRAVELS IN

DORAHAYA

By JONATHAN SWIFT

A recent discovery of the highest literary importance proves that "Guilliver's Travels" as we know them in hook form do not contain the whole of what Swift wrote on the subject. In an old hopac near Twickenham a manuscript has just been discovered; in Swift's handwriting, attached to which is a letter to Popo ez- plaining that the writer has decided to exclude the visit to Dorahaya from his forthcoming book an "Ihe busybodies might find too much therein to stir them to greater activities than heretofore." Pope's reply is also tied up with the MS.. He writes: "You do right in excluding this. i do not, however, find it dangerous, but that it passes all possibiltiy, and therefore misses its aim?" Extracti from the MS., which the owner does not intend to sell, are given. below.
