Soupçon III.vii

                              Soupçon III                                                        In Memoriam Series.                                                      III.vii

The Fourth and final book of "Gulliver's Travels" is the most famous. So trenchant is the satire in this part of the book that Swift has been criticised as a misanthrope. Here we are in the country of the Houyhnhnms. Unique are the Yahoos, a 'strange sort of animal' according to Swift.
