writers of our island. He who ftill doubts may perhaps fatisfy his greatest doubts, by perufing the chronological catalogue of our Author's works, which I have compiled, in order to gratify the public curiofity; and which, for the greater diftinctness, I have divided into two heads: 1ft, Thofe writings that I think are certainly De Foe's: 2dly, those writings that are faid to be his. As I do not pretend to perfect accuracy, it would be a favour to the world and to me, if any one, of more knowledge and leifure than I poffefs, would point out mistakes for the purpose of amendment. The zealous interpofition of Mr. Lockyer Davis, and the liberal spirit of the Stationers Company, procured me the perufal of the Register of books, which have been entered at Stationers-Hall. I was furprised and disappointed to find fo few of De Foe's writings entered as property, and his name never mentioned as an author or a man.
