Chapter Guido to Gulliver of G by Brewer's Readers Handbook

Gulchenraz, surnamed “Gundogdi” (“morning”), daughter of Malek-al-salem king of Georgia, to whom Fum-Hoam the mandarin relates his numerous and extraordinary transformations or rather metempsychoses.—Gueulette: Chinese Tales (1723).

Gulchenrouz, son of Ali Hassan (brother of the emir Fakreddin); the “most delicate and lovely youth in the whole world.” He could “write with precision, paint on vellum, sing to the lute, write poetry, and dance to perfection; but could neither hurl the lance nor curb the steed.” Gulchenrouz was betrothed to his cousin Nouronihar, who loved “even his faults;” but they never married, for Nouronihar became the wife of the caliph Vathek.—Beckford: Vathek (1784).

Gulistan [“the rose garden”], a collection of tales and apophthegms in prose and verse by Saadi, a native of Shiraz, Persia (thirteenth century). It was been translated into English by Gladwin.

Even beggars, in soliciting alms, will give utterance to some appropriate passage from the Gulistan,—J. J. Grandville.

Gulliver (Lemuel), first a surgeon, then a sea-captain of sev eral ships. He gets wrecked on the coast of Lilliput, a country of pygmies. Subsequently he is thrown among the people of Brobdingnag, giants of tremendous size. In his next voyage he is driven to Laputa, an empire of quack pretenders to science and knavish projectors. And in his fourth voyage he visits the Houyhnhnms [Whin-nms], where horses were the dominant powers. —Dean Swift: Travels in Several Remote Nations … by Lemuel Gulliver (1726).
