  • Notes:
    • New edition Edited by Henry Craik, perhaps for children One review (the only meagre substance found 2019-07-25): "Mr. Craik's preface, needless to say, is competent, his excisions from the text are reasonable enough, and paper, print, and binding are all very good. For children no better 'Gulliver' could be desired." --"Books of the Week", Manchester Guardian 1894-12-27 p7
    • Published November or December (inferred). Price from listing in "Macmillan & Co.'s New Books", The Athenaeum #3502 1894-12-08 p779: "Crown 8vo. gilt, or edges uncut, 6s.   [Cranford Series."
    • One dealer at ABEbooks provides front cover, spine, and title page images as of 2019-07-24 (ABEbooks bi=22793217027). Title page: "With a preface by Henry Craik" "and one hundred illustrations by Charles E. Brock" Spine: "Gulliver's Travels" "Illustrated by C. E. Brock"
    • Some newspaper advertisements state 103 illustrations. Advertisements and other contemporary notices report the book title and the names of all three contributors variously.
    • British Library (BL, below) reports "H. Craik" and "C.E. Brock L.P.", apparently from the title page, but that is not so; no page count. OCLC 776552159 heading uses the same spellings, and does not credit Craik or Brock otherwise; page count xxx, 381. Page count xxx, 381 is supported by {{OCLC|9772144}} report of 1908 Macmillan's illustrated pocket classics.
