This curious and estimable treatise, which we are told is only a prelude or preface to another larger volume, not published, though anonymously, as by an unknown friend, was written by the famous Dr. John Dee, and is owned by him in his Discourse apologetical to Abp. Whitgift, in 1595. Only one hundred copies printed. There is a copy in the Brit. Museum, with a long MS. of Dr. Dee's annexed to it, which seems to be a kind of continuation of the subject.

pears to have been published in the same year. This map was afterwards used in the fourth edition of the first part.

A spurious ABRIDGMENT of the first part was published by T. Cox, Amsterdam Coffee House, in 12mo. 1719, of which Taylor, the publisher of the Genuine edition, warns the public by an advertisement in the St. James's Post, dated Aug. 7, 1719.

Mr. Wilson, the biographer of Defoe, observes, 'The popularity of the work no doubt occasioned it to be printed in The Original London Post or Heathcote's Intelligence; but it is not impossible that Taylor sold Heathcote the right of printThe Life and strange surprising it in his paper.

'Defoe,' says Mr. Park, has been

charged with surreptitiously appropriating the papers of Alexander Selkirk (See Robinson Crusoe is the most popular, SELKIRK) in the formation of this celedelightful, and extraordinary of all De- brated work: but the charge. though refoe's Works, and has lost none of its ori-peatedly and confidently brought, appears ginal attraction, even at the distance of a century. Dr. Johnson observed, 'nobody ever laid it down without wishing it were longer.'

Lowndes says Robinson Crusoe first appeared in a periodical publication, entitled The Original London Post, or Heathcote's Intelligence, from Nos. 125 to No. 289 inclusively the latter, dated 7 October, 1719. But this is an error, copied from Dibdin's Library Companion, p. 607, and repeated since by the compilers of the Grenville Catalogue and other Bibliographers. The following is the correct state

ment:

to be destitute of foundation.' Some have assumed that Arbuthnot, others that Harley, Earl of Oxford, wrote the first part, and put it into the hands of Defoe, who wrote the second. But these assertions are without sufficient foundation, and are refuted by Wilson.
