Editorial notes:  Daniel Defoe’s tale of Robinson Crusoe was first
                    published in 1719.  Numerous—­almost countless—­
                    versions were published subsequently.  Several are
                    available in Project Gutenberg’s library, including
                    our e-books #521, 561, 5902, 6328, 6936, and 11239
                    (http://www.gutenberg.net/etext/521 etc.).  Various
                    tales have been included in the different versions,
                    usually under the names of “The Adventures of
                    Robinson Crusoe,” “The Further Adventures of
                    Robinson Crusoe,” and “Robinson Crusoe’s Vision of
                    the Angelic World.”  Even an account of the
                    adventures of Alexander Selkirk, who was marooned
                    for four years on an island in the Pacific Ocean,
                    has been incorporated into some versions of the
                    Robinson Crusoe stories.  All of these tales are
                    incorporated into this e-book taken from an 1801
                    edition.

                    Project Gutenberg also has an HTML version of this
                    file which includes the original illustrations.

Transcriber’s Note:  Several pages (23, 90, 134, and 224-226) of the
                    original book were unavailable for scanning.  I was
                    unable to find this exact story in other editions. 
                    Notes have been placed throughout the text to
                    indicate the location of the missing material.
