Second edition of the first part of Defoe's masterpiece. The book's success was so immediate that the second edition was called for just seventeen days after the first. 'The romance of Crusoes's adventures, the figure of civilized man fending for himself on a desert island, has made an imperishable impression on the mind of man ... much of modern science fiction is basically Crusoe's island changed to a planet' (PMM Exhibition Catalogue, 1963, 325). Hutchins Robinson Crusoe and its Printing 1719-1731 pp. 52ff.; Moore 412; cf. Grolier English 41; cf. PMM 180.
