Vols. II and in of Lee's Life and Newly Discovered Writings of Daniel
Defoe, 1869, contain selections, for the most part unquestionably authentic,
from Defoe's contributions to periodicals during the reign of George I.
Defoe's Letters and Memoranda in print number about two hundred and
thirty and are chiefly to be found in vols. Iv and v (1897, 1899) of the Fifteenth
Report of the Historical MSS Commission, MSS of the duke of Portland.
Sporadic letters are to be found in other reports of the commission, in Notes
and Queries, and in the chief biographies, notably Wright's; but the letters
to Harley contained in the Portland MSS give the best idea of Defoe as
& correspondent.
The above list of Defoe's writings does not take account of nearly three
hundred books and pamphlets which have been ascribed to him, but for the
authenticity of which I cannot vouch with entire confidence. Many of these
are almost as much entitled to be received into the accredited list as are
most of the items that have been accepted since the time of Chalmers and
Wilson; but, for one reason or another, it has seemed best to treat them
as plausible ascriptions only and to omit enumerating them here.
It may be added that there is reason to believe that two inaccessible
pamphlets, one vouched for by several bibliographers, including Lee, and one
by Crossley, will, when found, have to be added to Defoe's practically certain
- - writings. These are The Layman's Sermon upon the Late Storm, 1704,
and A Brief Debate upon the Dissolving the late Parliament, 1722.
