A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder
A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder is an 1888 satirical novel by Canadian author James De Mille. The story begins aboard the yacht Falcon, where Lord Featherstone and his friends discover a mysterious copper cylinder containing the manuscript of Adam More, who recounts his adventures in an imaginary semi-tropical land in Antarctica. This work is notable for its blend of adventure, natural history, and satire, and it anticipates elements of the 'Lost World' genre, influencing later fantasy and science fiction narratives.
