Les livres de DeF oe ne sont que le de veloppement des deux supplications de riiumanite :M on Dieu, donnez-nous notre pain quotidien ;mon Dieu, preservez-nous de la tentation !C efurent les paroles qui hanterent sa vie et son imagination. M. Schwob, Preface a Moll Flanders. Early education The True-hom Englixhman rolitical pamphlets Robinson Crusoe A great mystifier Minor novels Defoe srealism. DANIEL DEFOE was born in St. Giles s, Cripplegatc, in the year of Charles II. sjoyful Restoration. Whether he was born shortly after or shortly before the exact date of that auspicious event is still uncertain, but the latest authorities incline to the winter of 1659-60. Daniel sfather, James Foe, a butcher of Fore Street, was a younger son of a substantial yeoman farmer of Northamptonshire. (D isliking a monosyllabic surname, the writer changed his name to Defoe about 1703.) As a boy, in the streets about Smithfield Daniel observed the secrets of basket and candle-making, which he turned to such good purpose in Robinson Crusoe. Already he evinced a desire to talk with seamen and soldiers about the great sea-fights or battles on shore that any of them had been in. He must have heard, too, many relations of the wars of Olivers time, also of the Great Plague, and of the Great Fire, which occurred when he was five and six respectively. He may well have had pointed out to him the blind poet Milton, whose house in Bunhill Row was little more than a stone s-throw from Fore Street. The fact that he was intended for the Nonconformist ministry implied that he had a thoroughly good educational grounding (in the academy at Newington Green) by Charles Norton, a rank I ndependent, both in languages and logic. But Daniel drew back and went into business as a hose-factor (or dealer in and exporter of stockings) in the early eighties. On January 1st, 1684, being already in business, (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

(Excerpt from Twelve Bad Men: Original Studies of Eminent ...)
Excerpt from Twelve Bad Men: Original Studies of Eminent Scoundrels by Various Hands Frontispiece. Simon, Lord Lovat, counting the clans on his fingers. "Drawn from the life and etch'd in aquafortis by William Hogarth." Published on August 25, 1746. The original of this famous etching, a sketch in oils, is now in the National Portrait Gallery. It is said that, when the plate was finished, a bookseller offered its weight in gold for it. The impressions, sold at one shilling each,could not be taken from the copper as fast as they were wanted, though the rolling press was kept at work day and night. Hogarth received twelve pounds a day for the impressions. The description given of Lovat by a correspondent in the Gentleman's Magazine at the time of the trial tallies well with this remarkable likeness: - "Lord Lovat makes an odd figure, being generally more loaded with clothes than a Dutchman with his ten pairs of breeches; he is tall, walks very upright considering his great age, and is tolerably well shaped; he has a large mouth and short nose, with eyes very much contracted and down-looking, a very small forehead, almost all covered with a large periwig; this gives him a grim aspect, but upon addressing any one he puts on a smiling countenance." Title-page. The illustration on the title-page is engraved from a rare gilt medal struck in 1678, and now in the British Museum. On the obverse is a portrait of "T. Oates, D.D.," and on the reverse a view of Pickering, with his "screw-gun," stalking Charles II. in St. James's Park. One of the cards in the well-known popish-plot pack of playing cards, mentioned on p. in, has the same subject. This medal is figured in Pinkerton, and described in Hawkins's "Medallic History." Kelley Invoking a Spirit . . . to face; This picture of "Ed. Kelley, a magician, in the Act of invoking the Spirit of a Deceased Person," engraved by Ames, after Sibly, is from an illustration in one of Dec's works. The figure holding the book is that of Kelley, as his earless head testifies. George Cruikshank depicted the necromancer, engaged in a similar occupation, in Ainsworth's "Guy Fawkes."
