"the king of brobdingnag, and gulliver. -- vide swift's gulliver: voyage to brobdingnag"
the king says to napoleon: "my little friend grildrig, you have made a most admirable panegyric upon yourself and country, but from what i can gather from your own relation [i. E. Story] & the answers i have with much pains wringed & extorted from you, i cannot but conclude you to be one of the most pernicious little odious reptiles that nature ever suffer'd to crawl upon the surface of the earth". Date: 26 June 1803.
