Inference 1 Card 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. I had two elder brothers, one of whom was lieutenant-colonel to an English
regiment of foot in Flanders, formerly commanded by the famous Colonel Lockhart, and was
killed at the battle near Dunkirk against the Spaniards. What became of my second brother
never knew, any more than my father or mother knew what became of me. Being the third son of
the family and not bred to any trade, my head began to be filled very early with rambling
thoughts. My father, who was very ancient, had given me a competent share of learning, as far as
house-education and a country free school generally go, and designed me for the law; but I
would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea; and my inclination to this led me so strongly
against the will, nay, the commands of my father, and against all the entreaties and persuasions
of my mother and other friends, that there seemed to be something fatal in that propensity of
nature, tending directly to the life of misery which was to befall me.
