(1728) A sailor caught in a whirlwind is carried away to the world on the moon, which is inhabited by furries (well: "Brutes and half Brutes" that "walk'd upright and spoke"). The sailor learns the Moon language by eating a dictionary, then has several encounters that satirize 18th century society. It's an imitation of 1726's "Gulliver's Travels," and a mostly entertaining one, aside from some cringey misogyny of a type that isn't unusual for 1728
