A Robinsonade in which the shipwrecked hero uses all the scientific advancements of the nineteenth century to produce a one man industrial island, and the book gives details of each discovery and invention, including a submarine, a steam yacht, gunpowder and a cannon. The Preface begins, \“In all works of the Robinson Crusoe type, the wreck is always near at hand, the powder dry and preserved, and the days for rafting the same ashore calm and pleasant. This unfortunate had no such accessories.\”
