• Notes:

  • New edition Edited by Henry Craik, perhaps for children One review (the only meagre substance found 2019-07-25): "Mr. Craik's preface, needless to say, is competent, his excisions from the text are reasonable enough, and paper, print, and binding are all very good. For children no better 'Gulliver' could be desired." --"Books of the Week", Manchester Guardian 1894-12-27 p7

Page count xxx, 381 is supported by OCLC 9772144 report of 1908 Macmillan's illustrated pocket classics.
