Rebilius Cruso

Excerpt from Rebilius Cruso: Robinson Crusoe, in Latin; A Book To Lighten Tedium To a LearnerI surely need not apologize for taking only the general idea from Defoe. His tale is far too diffuse, too full of moralizing and with too little variety. He was very ignorant of the Botany and Zoology of the tropics, and when his tale is faithfully abridged, its' impossibilities become too glaring. The Arabic Robinson Crusoe published by the Church Missionary Society cuts down Defoe's story unmercifully.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
