Satire in which the protagonist travels by balloon to a planet inhabited by giants. There she meets the planet\’s Royal Academy and its Chief Minister, who is modelled on William Pitt, the Younger (1759-1806), Prime Minister (1783-1801, 1804-06). Most of the text is a commentary on the politics of the planet as a way of commenting on contemporary British politics.\
