Published by 21 February ; Athens, 1857
12mo bifolium: 4 pp. Text clear and complete. Fair, on aged paper. Begins: 'I am sorry to say that I have to place our affairs in your hands such as I never did before and I hope never to have to do again.' As the recipient may know, 'a vessel was built for me last year by the Messrs Hall in Aberdeen and was built under the inspection of Lloyds surveyor according to a certain specification & contract.' Selkirk 'had so much confidence in the character of the Messrs Hall' that he thought himself 'quite safe with the supervision of the Lloyds surveyor but finding the vessel leaky I had her inspected by the Dockyard people at Malta and they discovered on removing certain planks that the construction of the vessel was essentially defective and not according to the specification & contract'. Selkirk alleges that he has been 'abominably defrauded & sent to sea in a vessel postively unsafe' as a result of 'gross carelessness or [.] collusion between Messrs Hall & the surveyor'. He spent £300 on repairs in Malta, but he cannot keep the vessel '[i]n any shape' and feels that 'Messrs. Hall ought to take her off my hands & give me back my money with such reasonable deduction as might be considered fair for the deterioration by wear & tear for a year - I being allowed also for the Malta dockyard bill as a set off against that'. He does not know how the case stands in 'strict law', but 'considering the awful exposure that an action for fraud would bring about' feels that the shipwrights 'would be anxious to compound at any rate'. Asks the recipient to try and 'privately find out in what mind they are about', and communicate the information to Eden Colville, Fenchurch Buildings, London. 'If they defy us and are in the mind to defend the action we will have to consider how to proceed.' Hall & Co were active between 1790 and 1957. According to one authority 'Alexander Hall died in 1849 leaving his two sons, James and William, to run the business. The brothers were responsible for many famous clippers.'.

CONTENTS: Introduction 1: Rescue from Juan Fernandez 2: A Tale of Two Tales 3: The Village He Left Behind 4: Survival on the Island 5: How He Got Rich 6: The Things He Brought Back 7: Homecoming and Sophia 8: London and the End, Bibliography, Index. SUMMARY: 2009 marked the 300th anniversary of the rescue of Alexander Selkirk, the Fife mariner who became the inspiration for Daniel Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe'. The story is told not only by the author but also through the words of those who knew Selkirk with three colourful contemporary accounts of Selkirk's island experiences on Juan Fernandez - two by the sailors who rescued him from the island, 300 miles off the coast of Chile (Capt Edward Cooke and Capt Woodes Rogers) and one by Sir Richard Steele, who talked with Selkirk after his homecoming. Selkirk had spent four and a half years on the island. Wilson also delves into Defoe's construction of Crusoe from Selkirk's experiences and his youth in Fife. He also covers the dramatic circumstances of his abandonment on the island when he asked to be stranded rather than risk drowning in the unseaworthy Cinque Ports. Selkirk was right, the ship sank and the crew perished. Having been adopted as master of the ship that rescued him, Selkirk got his privateering career immediately back on track and, thanks to the success of this expedition, became a rich man. When he returned as such to Lower Largo - entering the church in all his new finery - his family and the common people almost fell at his feet. But this triumphant moment did not last. He became bored and nostalgic for his island (often sitting at a point overlooking the Forth to try to conjure it up) and, after starting a relationship with a local girl, he - and she - went back down to London. The story does not have a particularly happy ending. While his Fife lass felt uncomfortable in London society, Selkirk abandoned her in two ways - he took another woman as a wife and went off to sea again, as lieutenant aboard HMS Weymouth. While the ship was sailing off the west coast of Africa in 1723, it was struck by yellow fever and Alexander Selkirk was among the many crew members who died. He was aged 47 and the 'new' woman finally won the long and ugly tussle over his remaining fortune. Now an Uncommon title. **Will be well-packed for shipping**. Lg.8vo.
