Originally published in 1729 this edition is actually the second edition, published as a title in the Unwin Adventure Series. Purported to be a primary source for Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe', there has been continuing debate about whether this popular tale describing survival in eighteenth-century Madagascar was truth or fiction. Capt. Oliver, in his introduction is one who looks askance at the full veracity of Drury's tale, though admits that the man existed. Emile Blanchard in 1872 and Captain Pasfield Oliver in 1890 both argued that Robert Drurys Journal was probably written by Defoe. Included in this edition is an essay further describing Madagascar, by the Abbe Alexis Rochon.
