The Voyages of Lord Seaton to the Seven Planets (1766) is an interplanetary romance in the tradition of Cyrano de Bergerac's History of the States and Empires of the Moon. In it, the eponymous hero and his sister Monime travel to the seven planets of the Solar System on the wings of the genie Zachiel. They discover that the inhabitants of each world represent a human character trait -- Selenites are capricious, Martians bellicose, Venusians lovers, etc. Eventually, they return to Earth where Monime inherits the throne of Georgia.
Also included in this volume is another high fantasy tale, The Water
Sprites (1768) a colorful and extravagant if eccentric classic of
fantastic fiction, which has closer affiliations with modern fantasy than
most contemporary works in a similar vein.
