Description: Here we see a games table with cards and dice spread over it. A cup, likely representing alcohol and a gun are also on the table. In this chapter Gulliver tells the King of Luggnagg about diplomacy, religion, the justice system, the arts, the financial system, and the nobility, then debated these issues with the king. This image comes when Gulliver is discussing gambling in England. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
