‘Robbins was an able seaman on board the Commerce, and endured the same sufferings<br />
as Captain Riley. Obviously Robbins wished to cash in on the interest shown in<br />
Riley’s adventures, and rushed his narrative into print soon after the captain’s. At<br />
least eight editions of this book appeared in the year of first publication, 1818’<br />
(Huntress 194c).
