I Was Born In The Year 1632, In The City Of York, Of A Good Family,
Though Not Of That Country, My Father Being A Foreigner Of Bremen,
Who Settled First At Hull. He Got A Good Estate By Merchandise,
And Leaving Off His Trade, Lived Afterwards At York, From Whence He
Had Married My Mother, Whose Relations Were Named Robinson, A Very
Good Family In That Country, And From Whom I Was Called Robinson
Kreutznaer; But, By The Usual Corruption Of Words In England, We
Are Now Called - Nay We Call Ourselves And Write Our Name - Crusoe;
And So My Companions Always Called Me.
