I
told
him
,
"
that
in
the
kingdom
of
Tribnia
,
by
the
natives
called
Langdon
,
where
I
had
sojourned
some
time
in
my
travels
,
the
bulk
of
the
people
consist
in
a
manner
wholly
of
discoverers
,
witnesses
,
informers
,
accusers
,
prosecutors
,
evidences
,
swearers
,
together
with
their
several
subservient
and
subaltern
instruments
,
all
under
the
colours
,
the
conduct
,
and
the
pay
of
ministers
of
state
,
and
their
deputies
.
The
plots
,
in
that
kingdom
,
are
usually
the
workmanship
of
those
persons
who
desire
to
raise
their
own
characters
of
profound
politicians
;
to
restore
new
vigour
to
a
crazy
administration
;
to
stifle
or
divert
general
discontents
;
to
fill
their
coffers
with
forfeitures
;
and
raise
,
or
sink
the
opinion
of
public
credit
,
as
either
shall
best
answer
their
private
advantage
.
It
is
first
agreed
and
settled
among
them
,
what
suspected
persons
shall
be
accused
of
a
plot
;
then
,
effectual
care
is
taken
to
secure
all
their
letters
and
papers
,
and
put
the
owners
in
chains
.
These
papers
are
delivered
to
a
set
of
artists
,
very
dexterous
in
finding
out
the
mysterious
meanings
of
words
,
syllables
,
and
letters
:
for
instance
,
they
can
discover
a
close
stool
,
to
signify
a
privy
council
;
a
flock
of
geese
,
a
senate
;
a
lame
dog
,
an
invader
;
the
plague
,
a
standing
army
;
a
buzzard
,
a
prime
minister
;
the
gout
,
a
high
priest
;
a
gibbet
,
a
secretary
of
state
;
a
chamber
pot
,
a
committee
of
grandees
;
a
sieve
,
a
court
lady
;
a
broom
,
a
revolution
;
a
mouse-trap
,
an
employment
;
a
bottomless
pit
,
a
treasury
;
a
sink
,
a
court
;
a
cap
and
bells
,
a
favourite
;
a
broken
reed
,
a
court
of
justice
;
an
empty
tun
,
a
general
;
a
running
sore
,
the
administration
.
"
When
this
method
fails
,
they
have
two
others
more
effectual
,
which
the
learned
among
them
call
acrostics
and
anagrams
.
First
,
they
can
decipher
all
initial
letters
into
political
meanings
.
Thus
N
,
shall
signify
a
plot
;
B
,
a
regiment
of
horse
;
L
,
a
fleet
at
sea
;
or
,
secondly
,
by
transposing
the
letters
of
the
alphabet
in
any
suspected
paper
,
they
can
lay
open
the
deepest
designs
of
a
discontented
party
.
So
,
for
example
,
if
I
should
say
,
in
a
letter
to
a
friend
,
'
Our
brother
Tom
has
just
got
the
piles
,
'
a
skilful
decipherer
would
discover
,
that
the
same
letters
which
compose
that
sentence
,
may
be
analysed
into
the
following
words
,
'
Resist
--
a
plot
is
brought
home
--
The
tour
.
'
And
this
is
the
anagrammatic
method
.
"
The
professor
made
me
great
acknowledgments
for
communicating
these
observations
,
and
promised
to
make
honourable
mention
of
me
in
his
treatise
I
saw
nothing
in
this
country
that
could
invite
me
to
a
longer
continuance
,
and
began
to
think
of
returning
home
to
England
.
The
continent
,
of
which
this
kingdom
is
apart
,
extends
itself
,
as
I
have
reason
to
believe
,
eastward
,
to
that
unknown
tract
of
America
westward
of
California
;
and
north
,
to
the
Pacific
Ocean
,
which
is
not
above
a
hundred
and
fifty
miles
from
Lagado
;
where
there
is
a
good
port
,
and
much
commerce
with
the
great
island
of
Luggnagg
,
situated
to
the
north-west
about
29
degrees
north
latitude
,
and
140
longitude
.
This
island
of
Luggnagg
stands
south-eastward
of
Japan
,
about
a
hundred
leagues
distant
.
There
is
a
strict
alliance
between
the
Japanese
emperor
and
the
king
of
Luggnagg
;
which
affords
frequent
opportunities
of
sailing
from
one
island
to
the
other
.
I
determined
therefore
to
direct
my
course
this
way
,
in
order
to
my
return
to
Europe
.
I
hired
two
mules
,
with
a
guide
,
to
show
me
the
way
,
and
carry
my
small
baggage
.
I
took
leave
of
my
noble
protector
,
who
had
shown
me
so
much
favour
,
and
made
me
a
generous
present
at
my
departure
.
My
journey
was
without
any
accident
or
adventure
worth
relating
.
When
I
arrived
at
the
port
of
Maldonada
(
for
so
it
is
called
)
)
there
was
no
ship
in
the
harbour
bound
for
Luggnagg
,
nor
likely
to
be
in
some
time
.
The
town
is
about
as
large
as
Portsmouth
.
I
soon
fell
into
some
acquaintance
,
and
was
very
hospitably
received
.
A
gentleman
of
distinction
said
to
me
,
"
that
since
the
ships
bound
for
Luggnagg
could
not
be
ready
in
less
than
a
month
,
it
might
be
no
disagreeable
amusement
for
me
to
take
a
trip
to
the
little
island
of
Glubbdubdrib
,
about
five
leagues
off
to
the
south-west
.
"
He
offered
himself
and
a
friend
to
accompany
me
,
and
that
I
should
be
provided
with
a
small
convenient
bark
for
the
voyage
.
Glubbdubdrib
,
as
nearly
as
I
can
interpret
the
word
,
signifies
the
island
of
sorcerers
or
magicians
.
It
is
about
one
third
as
large
as
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
and
extremely
fruitful
:
it
is
governed
by
the
head
of
a
certain
tribe
,
who
are
all
magicians
.
This
tribe
marries
only
among
each
other
,
and
the
eldest
in
succession
is
prince
or
governor
.
He
has
a
noble
palace
,
and
a
park
of
about
three
thousand
acres
,
surrounded
by
a
wall
of
hewn
stone
twenty
feet
high
.
In
this
park
are
several
small
enclosures
for
cattle
,
corn
,
and
gardening
.
The
governor
and
his
family
are
served
and
attended
by
domestics
of
a
kind
somewhat
unusual
.
By
his
skill
in
necromancy
he
has
a
power
of
calling
whom
he
pleases
from
the
dead
,
and
commanding
their
service
for
twenty-four
hours
,
but
no
longer
;
nor
can
he
call
the
same
persons
up
again
in
less
than
three
months
,
except
upon
very
extraordinary
occasions
.
