Motte, recognising a bestseller but fearing prosecution, simply cut or altered the worst offending passages (such as the descriptions of the court contests in Lilliput or the rebellion of Lindalino), added some material in defense of Queen Anne to book II, and published it anyway.
The short (five paragraph) episode in Part III, telling of the rebellion of the surface city of Lindalino against the flying island of Laputa, was an obvious allegory to the affair of The Drapier's Letters of which Swift was justifiably proud.
Lindalino was Dublin (Lin-da-lin = Double-lin = Dublin) and the impositions of Laputa represented the British imposition of Wood's poor-quality currency.

About three years before my arrival among them, while the King was in his progress over his dominions, there happened an extraordinary accident which had like to have put a period to the fate of that monarchy, at least as it is now instituted.
Lindalino, the second city in the kingdom, was the first his Majesty visited in his progress.
Upon the top of each tower, as well as upon the rock, they fixed a great loadstone, and in case their design should fail, they had provided a vast quantity of the most combustible fuel, hoping to burst therewith the adamantine bottom of the island, if the loadstone project should miscarry.

 Laputa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The king, being a tyrannic ruler, controls the mainland mostly by threatening to cover rebel regions with the island's shadow, thus preventing sunlight and rain.
In extreme cases, the island is lowered on the cities below in order to crush them, although this has not been successful every time, notably in the case of Lindalino.
This has long been regarded as a satire on a state ruled by a Whig government, as opposed to the Tory government Swift personally advocated.

 Gulliver's Travels
The book was a transparently anti-Whig satire and it is likely that Swift had the manuscript recopied so his handwriting could not be used as evidence if a prosecution should arise (as had happened in the case of some of his Irish pamphlets) and the manuscript was secretly delivered to the publisher Benjamin Motte.
Motte, fearing prosecution and recognising a bestseller when he had one, simply cut or altered the worst offending passages, such as the descriptions of the court contests in Lilliput or the rebellion of Lindalino, and published it anyway.
The short (three-paragraph) story in Part III telling of the rebellion of the surface city of Lindalino against the flying island of Laputa was an obvious allegory to the affair of The Drapier's Letters, of which Swift was (justifiably) proud.

Lindalino, a city within the kingdom, was in revolt against the monarch.
At the center of the city, they erected a tower, on top of which was a lodestone piled with a "most combustible fuel" which would burn the island if it came too near.
The Lindalino (this city stands for Dublin) incident is an allegorical account of the Irish campaign against the introduction of a debased currency (dubbed in Swift's letters against the project "the most combustible fuel," meaning that it would ignite a huge rebellion) into Ireland.

 CliffsNotes::Gulliver's Travels:Book Summary and Study Guide
The tall rocks in the towns of Balnibarbi seem to represent the Irish peers; the high spires represent Irish bishops, who protested Wood’s scheme; and the pillars of stone probably characterize the Irish merchants.
The towers Lindalino raised correspond to the grand jury that investigated Swift’s The Drapier’s Letters, the Irish privy council, and the two houses of the Irish parliament.
Swift’s contemporaries seem to have recognized the many political references because the printers suppressed the Lindalino incident; it did not appear in the Travels until the nineteenth century.

This letter now forms part of the standard text.
For uncertain reasons Faulkner had omitted this passage, either because of political sensitivities raised by being an Irish publisher printing an anti-English satire or possibly because the text he worked from didn't include the passage either.

I propose that this line represents nothing but a dividing line separating the two external sides of the female organ.
Another sexual analogy: In paragraph 3-3-14, Gulliver mentions the town of Lindalino.
This definition is very similar to a region of the female pubic region called MONS VENERIS: Latin MONS, "mountain, heap" but, in this case, more like a protruding "mound"; VENERIS, "of loveliness", related to Venus, goddess of love.

One part of this voyage, however, is distinctly aimed at England.
The town that had rebelled against Laputa, Lindalino, is definitely meant to symbolize Northern Ireland.
The tale of Lindalino’s triumph over Laputa was Swift’s way of showing his support for his fellow Irishmen.

During one revolt in Lindalino, the flying fortress had to give in to the demands of the people because they were in danger of damaging their own home, the flying island (Bloom 61).
England did not want to destroy Ireland because they made money off of the land and the tenants there, and the Irish people were under the English’s protection so it would not make since for England to destroy them.
The king’s taxation of his people is what caused the revolt in Lindalino, which displays Swift’s beliefs that the people of Ireland should revolt.

The "small Collection of Rarities" -- including the Queen's thumbnail paring, foot-long needles, and a silverplated cup made from a corn cut from a maid of honor's toe -- rival those actually on display in London at Don Saltero's Coffeehouse, Sir Hans Sloane's "museum," or the Royal Academy repository at Gresham House.
Gulliver changes from collector to observer in part 3, yet the premise behind the flying island is patently imperialist, as the long-censored section concerning the Lindalino rebellion makes clear.
This silenced critique of the oppression of Ireland again suggests the hidden and contradictory ideology of Swift's novel, an ideology dependent on imperialist capitalism and complicitous in its "naturalization" through science, leisure, and individual entrepreneurship.
