WHETHEE this interesting work is considered as a romance, or as a series of authentic memoirs, in which the only fabulous circumstan6e is the exist ence of the hero it must undoubtedly be allowed to be of the best description of either species of composition, and to reflect additional lustre, even on the author of Robinson Crusoe. There is so much simplicity and apparent fidelity of statement throughout the narrative, that the feelings are little indebted to those who would re move the veil and the former editors, perhaps, have acted not unwisely in leaving the circum stances of its authenticity in their original ob scurity.
