Description: Here we see the Lilliputian Emperor and Finance Minister discussing what to do about Gulliver, as it was very expensive to continue to feed and clothe him due to his size. The two ultimately came up with a plan to charge him with treason among other charges to force him to leave. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
