Seller's Description:
Good, fair. 22 cm, 384, illus., map, footnotes, DJ worn, soiled, and edge tears, pencil erasure on front endpaper. A reprint of what is possibly the first novel written in America, this is a rousing yarn in the Robinson Crusoe tradition of a British sailor shipwrecked on the Caribbean coast of Central America. The author's comments on the character of an escaped Negro slave are one of the earliest critiques in America on the evils of slavery. Based on the author's manuscript which was first published in 1815 in a restyled version under the title: The Journal of Llewellin Penrose, a Seaman.
