A Strange Manuscript Found In A Copper Cylinder is a novel written by James De Mille. The story revolves around four sailors who discover a copper cylinder while sailing in the South Pacific.

The manuscript describes the strange and fascinating customs, traditions, and beliefs of the people who inhabit the island, including their unique form of government, their religion, and their social customs. As the sailors read the manuscript, they become more and more intrigued by the strange and exotic world described within its pages. The novel is a satirical commentary on Victorian society, and it explores themes such as imperialism, colonialism, and cultural relativism.
