Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins: A Cornish Man Although, since the first appearance of this work in 1751, it has been several times republished, and is to he found in our collections of standard novels, it has met with a very insufficient success and popularity. That this should be the case is indeed surprising; for, with an enchanting simplicity of narrative, a truthful minuteness of description, and an ingenuity of contrivance, that renders its Author no mean rival of the great Defoe himself; his "winged people" have been pronounced by Southey to be "the most beautiful creatures of imagination that were ever devised." But, above all, the work is admirable for the valuable lessons of morality it inculcates; and which are so interwoven with the incidents of the tale, that they can scarce escape the attention of the most careless reader, and will often make an impression, where more formal and didactic precepts would be delivered in vain. We should be at a loss to point out in any work in our language more charming pictures of connubial felicity and domestic happiness. Still, notwithstanding the general purity with which the book is composed, and the utter absence of indecent language, (too characteristic of the period in which it was written, ) it contains one or two incidents which have properly prevented its being employed for the amusement and instruction of the young.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins (1751) is an adventure novel by Robert Paltock. No doubt inspired by Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe (1719), Paltock’s novel is a brilliant work of fiction in its own right, earning praise from such figures as Walter Scott and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Republished in an influential 1884 edition with an introduction by editor and academic Arthur Henry Bullen, The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins remains a uniquely entertaining novel of shipwreck, romance, and discovery. “It was about the middle of June, when the days are there at the shortest, on a very starry and moonlight night, that we observed at some distance a very black cloud, but seemingly of no extraordinary size or height, moving very fast towards us, and seeming to follow the ship, which then made great way.” While sailing around Cape Horn, the crew of the Hector spots a mysterious object flying toward them in the sky. Alarmed, the men open fire, causing the object to crash into the sea. Soon, cries for help alert them to an old man afloat on the waves, grasping the remnants of his flying machine for dear life. Safely on board, the man introduces himself as Peter Wilkins. Decades prior, he left his home and family in Cornwall to embark on a voyage to Africa. There, he was stolen into slavery by Portuguese settlers, but managed to escape with the help of the native Glanlepze and his wife. Later, Wilkins fell in with a group of English prisoners, who managed to steal a Portuguese vessel before being shipwrecked and lost at sea. The sole survivor, Wilkins washed ashore on a desert island, where he would fight every second to survive. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Robert Paltock’s The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.
