Description: A lord of Balnibarbi shows Gulliver around the estate. On his tour he took Gulliver to this old mill. The academy wanted to move the mill upstream, and although the lord was not enthralled with the idea, he reluctantly agreed, pressured by his friends. The new mill failed, and the lord was blamed. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
