Note "The earliest known writings of Daniel Defoe. The text is printed from a notebook written in his hand ... and dated by him 1681. Of this 195-page manuscript, now in the Huntington Library, the greater part consists of Defoe's transcripts of six sermons preached at various dates in 1681 by Mr. John Collins. But the last twenty-three pages, that portion of the manuscript printed here, contain seven verse meditations of Defoe's own composition"--Introd.
"This first edition is limited to 280 copies ... thirty copies on Georgian paper being for review, the rest, numbered 1 to 250 and on Tuscany handmade paper being mostly for sale"--Colophon.
