"A Letter From a Clergyman to his Friend, with an Account of the Travels of Captain Lemuel Gulliver" by anonymous and edited by Martin Kallich It is often difficult for people to picture men in the clergy as being social humans who could have casual interactions with people outside of the church. This book explores the idea of a social clergyman in a world where Lemuel Gulliver was a real person. Since Lemuel Gulliver is the fictional protagonist and narrator of Gulliver's Travels, a novel written by Jonathan Swift, first published in 1726, satire and entertainment are the main purposes of this story.
