Book Overview

The Banished Briton and Neptunian, Nos. 1-12 (1843) is a collection of twelve issues of a periodical written by Robert Gourlay. The periodical was first published in 1843 and contains a series of essays, articles, and stories that cover a range of topics related to politics, economics, and society. The title of the periodical refers to the author's own experience of being exiled from Britain for his political views, and to his interest in the study of the ocean and its inhabitants. The essays and articles in the periodical reflect Gourlay's radical political views, which were heavily influenced by the ideas of Thomas Paine and other Enlightenment thinkers. The periodical also contains a number of stories and poems that reflect Gourlay's interest in the natural world and his belief in the importance of environmental conservation. Overall, The Banished Briton and Neptunian, Nos. 1-12 (1843) is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a radical thinker and writer of the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
