About this book
By its narrator's account, sailing round the world had stopped being a wonder by 1725, the year on the title page of this Daniel Defoe novel, so the book promises incidents other voyage writers left out. The title page describes a voyage undertaken by merchants who afterwards proposed setting up an East-India Company in Flanders.
The opening pages complain that earlier circumnavigators filled their books with sailing directions and daily log entries, giving only thin accounts of landings, storms and skirmishes. Defoe's Robinson Crusoe had appeared six years before.
