[Rabbits running]

Description
-
In this image we see a group of rabbits running. The image represents children who have been reprimanded, who then become too shy to answer again for fear of being incorrect. This serves as a detriment to children’s learning and is thus forbidden in Lilliput. The rabbits represent children who have been punished and then run away for fear of being punished again. This image appears in the appendix to Gulliver’s travels in Lilliput. In the appendix, Gulliver discusses various aspects of life on Lilliput, including education, employment, approaches to science and philosophy, language, and interactions between people in the community. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
