NOTICE TO THE THIRD PART.

AMONG the additions to the present Part, DEFOE has received considerable attention, and the list of his writings is at least more complete than any yet published, although still open to critical questioning. I take occasion to make especial allusion to this article, because it gives me an opportunity of replying to an attack, which, though insignificant in itself, assumes form by being admitted into an influential journal. I am accused of having dealt unfairly with the public, in announcing 'the Works of Defoe,' and then stopping short at seven volumes. To which I reply that I never announced, and never dreamt of publishing, the entire Works of Defoe, even were it possible to ascertain exactly what they are. I merely announced The Novels and Miscellaneous Works,' as the principal title will shew, and as had been done before in Lewis's edition; and this announcement I have fulfilled. I have not only published all the Novels and several of the Miscellaneous Works, but have never even relinquished my intention of proceeding, although in the face of almost certain loss. My present list of Defoe's Works, constructed on a novel plan, will not only shew the extent and uncertainty of what is attributable to him, but also how many abortive attempts, for want of public encouragement, have from time to time been made to republish them. The fact is, that although Defoe ranks as a Classic, and is a household word with the English public, the only one of his works they currently buy is Robinson Crusoe;' all the rest find but a slow and unrequiting

sale. Collectors and literary men eagerly endeavour to complete their sets of Defoe, and unable to obtain modern editions of a great proportion of his writings, buy up the rarer volumes at a large price; but this class of buyers constitutes a very limited portion of the reading public, quite insufficient to support a popular form of publication. My seven volumes, published at 3s. 6d. each, comprehend in substance the whole twenty of the previous edition which was published at £5. If the public will afford sufficient encouragement, I will go on producing in the same ratio; otherwise there is no mutuality of purpose. I permit myself further to observe, that every volume is complete in itself, and sells separately, so that a purchaser who gets 'Moll Flanders and the History of the Devil' in one volume-hitherto a guinea's-worth -for three and sixpence; or the Plague, the Fire of London, and the Storm' for a like sum, will not have much reason to complain, even should he never get all the Fifteen Comforts of an honest Scotchman' on the same terms.

The labour bestowed on the present Part has been excessive, and yet might advantageously have been more. Every page, almost every article, has received corrections or additions. To the discerning bibliographer it will be sufficient to point out the following: Dallaway, Daniell, Dante, Decker, Dibdin, Digby, D'Israeli, Domesday, Donovan, Drake, Drayton, Drolleries, Drummond, Dugdale, Dunton, Edgeworth, Epitaphs, Euclid, Eusebius, Euripides, Faber, Fielding, Fisher (Payne), Fox, Franklin, Freemasons, Fuller.
