George Cumberland's short utopian tale 'The Captive of the Castle of Sennaar' Part 1 was printed in 1798 but immediately suppressed by its author for fear of prosecution of sedition. It was first published with Cumberland's 'Original Tales'in 1810 but was almost totally ignored. This is its third printing and second publication....About 1800 Cumberland wrote a sequel to 'The Captive' Part 1, subtitled 'The Reformed'... This manuscript has only recently been discovered and is here printed for the first time.... It is a work of considerable interest. (from the Preface). ISBN 9780773507425.
