ADVENTURES
OF
CAPt. LEMUEL GULLIVER.
CHAP. I.
Mr Lemuel Gulliver, was the ⟨third⟩ son of a gentleman in Nottinghamshire: at the age of 14 he was sent ⟨to⟩ Emanuel College, Cambridge, where ⟨he⟩ studied very closely for three years; ⟨but⟩ the charge of maintaining him being ⟨too⟩ great for his father's narrow fortune, ⟨he⟩ was bound apprentice to Mr Bates, ⟨a⟩ Surgeon in London. What little ⟨money⟩ he got, he laid out in learning navigation and other parts of mathematics, as he ⟨always⟩ fancied he should be a great ⟨traveller⟩: When his time was expired, he ⟨left⟩ Mr. Bates, and studied physic two years at Leyden, in Holland.
