“These people are most excellent mathematicians, and arrived to a great perfection in mechanics.” Illustrate with an example from the story.

      The Lilliputians were most excellent mathematicians, and arrived to a great perfection in mechanics by the patronage and encouragement of the emperor, who was a renowned patron of learning. The emperor had several machines fixed on wheels for the carriage of trees and other great weights. He often built his largest men-of-war, some of which were nine feet long, in the woods where the timber grew, and had them carried on those engines three or four hundred yards to the sea.
