= Cf. Imaginary Voyages 94 (on the edition of 1722): "(...) sequel by the French translator of Swift. The stunning succes of Desfontaines' heavily bowdlerised 1727 translation of Swift's famous novel no doubt provided the impetus to this unofficial sequel. The fiction that it was translated from an original English text is exposed in the preface, where its relationship to Gulliver's Travels is said to be akin to that of Fénélon's Aventures de Telemaque with the Odyssey. As Gove comments, this is one of the very few works to use Gulliver as a model for imitation (unlike the endless array of Robinsonades, for instance) and thus occupies an important position in the history of Swift's novel."
