PREFATORY NOTE

My curiosity on the "Isle of Pines" was aroused by the sale of a copy in
London and New York in 1917, and was increased by the discovery of two
distinct issues in the Dowse Library, in the Massachusetts Historical
Society. As my material grew in bulk and the history of this hoax
perpetrated in the seventeenth century developed, I thought it of
sufficient interest to communicate an outline of the story to the
Club of Odd Volumes, of Boston, October 23, 1918. The results of my
investigations are more fully given in the present volume. I acknowledge
my indebtedness to the essay of Max Hippe, "Eine vor-De-foesche
Englische Robinsonade," published in Eugen Kölbing's "Englische Studien"
