Transcriber's Note:      
        The title page of this edition is a bit confusing. The author of the        original work 'Der Schweizerische Robinson' was Johann David Wyss, and        it was edited by his son Johann Rudolf Wyss. This edition was translated        by William Henry Giles Kingston.
