St. John-Land: A Retro-Prospectus In Two Letters, Supposed To Be Written Some Years Hence is a book written by William Augustus Muhlenberg and published in 1864. The book is written in the form of two letters, supposedly written in the future, that describe the fictional island of St. John-Land. The letters are written by two characters, one of whom is a former resident of the island and the other is a visitor. The book provides a detailed description of the island's geography, flora and fauna, and the customs and culture of its inhabitants. The book also includes illustrations and maps of the island. The author's purpose in writing the book was to provide a utopian vision of a society based on Christian principles. The book was well-received at the time of its publication and is still considered a classic of utopian literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
