I think the important thing to realize about it is that it is a satire on Swift's culture. It helps to have a brief knowledge of the eighteenth century. The third part is very specifically satirizing the Royal Society of London which many thought, at the time, to be engaged in totally useless experiments.
Edit: Whoops. Just noticed the three years late thing. Sorry!
