Daniel Defoe ; Lie Lfe and nce fitly-diacoveral ex ending from 1716 to 1;29. Ai William Lee. Three voiumes. J. U. Hotten. Hero-worship is not always discreet. That Defoe is a hero in the eyes of Mr. Lee, is shewn by the " Life ;" that Defoe will continne to be a hero in the eyes of thcse other persons who thought him so will scarcely seem pos sible after reading the "newly-discovered writings." Mr. Lee, with enthusiastic industry, has ascertained many facts of Defoe's career not previously known. It would have been better for Defoe's fair fame if they remained unknown still. Mr. John Forster, in his brilliant essay, had taught us that Defoe wrote his last political essay in 1715. Mr. Lee tells us that he did nothing of the sort ; that for sixteen years afterwards he was writing m politi cal journals. Why should he not have done so ? our readers may ask. We reply that there was not the least reason in the u orid why Defoe should not have continued writing as he wrote before. Unfortunately, be did not so continue. Did he change his opinions ? Did he, an ardent Liberal until 1715, go"over to the 'Tories after then? He did not go over; he did worse: he seemed to go over; and under the pretence of being a Tory he got the Tory journal :Ito his hands, and wrote in it feeble and emasculated Toryism in order to discredit the party and to support his patrons. Who were his patrons ? Lord Townshend and Lord Sun derland. But the proposal to act in this double-faced way was Defoe's own. He himself has detailed the cir cumstances under which be edited, first of all the Mercurius Politicus, and then the News-Letter. Concern ing the latter paper he tells us that the original propriets r having died, and his successor having no money to carry it on, offered a share in it to him (Defoe), and that he immediately acquainted Lord Townshend with the fact, who told him that by undertaking the conduct of the journal he would do a very acceptable piece of service. Defoe was a stanch Nonconformist, and so he found no difficulty in obtaining a sanction for his treachery in the Old Testament. The Puritans of the Commonwealth had appealed to the example of Joshua in dealing with the Canaanites, and Defoe said of himself, "Thus I bow myself in the House of Rimmon." Manifestly, if Defoe's contributions to these journals had been solely political they would have been very little worth preserving. Articles intentionally weak, and which did not express his convictions, would have no interest in themselves, and would certainly give no idea of the writer. But the great bulk of his articles were on social and literary topics, and are therefore valuable. He does not seem to have descended so low as to write diluted Toryism—he simply diluted that which was written by others, and he then used his pen to good effect in the non-political part of the journals. It is these writings which Mr. Lee offers in two of his three large octavo volumes of some 500 pages each. The life is con tained in the first volume, and is of nearly the same size. -It is preceded by an interesting introduction, from which is taken the information we have given, and by a very valuable chronological catalogue of Defoe's works. Con. cerning these works, Mr. Lee says that he has added 64, and rejected 102 that had been, as he believes, erroneously attributed to Defoe. The revised catalogue contains 254 works. Of course it is only the previously uncollected works which are published in these volumes. They are accompanied in some instances by facsimiles of curious title-pages and frontispieces, which increase the interest of these volumes. id STAMPED 6d.

Eit Queen-street Cheat:aide. j EAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN. The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want of room for stowage, every inch of available space being occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the staff of nurses would be able to attend apon more children, but no more can be admitted in the present building. £B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished for and urgent scheme. Contributions will be thankfully received by the Trea surerAE.S. Norris, Esq., Shadwell; or by SLIERRD B. BURNABY, H on . Sec Rectory, Wapping, E. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; ne event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will _become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy filmed on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaoing, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this cliss as security, may always know the utmost amount they may ho called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies .tre held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the t..blea being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unehallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore bo aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses a❑ income of £215,000 a year Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom.

The "Life" is a straightforward narrative, without any attempt at literary perfection. Defoe was essentially a public man, a politician ; and, therefore, a biography of him is necessarily to a great extent a history of England during the time that he lived. It may interest our readers to condense the main facts of his career. Daniel Defoe was born in the parish of St. Giles, Crip plegate, 16C1. His father, James Foe, was a butcher. Mr. Lee conjectures that the prefix "De" arose by acci dent rather than by design, and•probably had it s or i g i n i n the fact that th e son signed himself " D. Foe," and was so called to distinguish him from his father. Certainly so sturdy a Puritan as Daniel was not likely to be influenced by any snobbish desire to claim Norman descent. He went to a Dissenters' school at Newington, and did well there. His Puritanism induced him to join the Duke of Monmouth, the " Protestant hero." For tunately, the young butcher's son was not known in the West of England, and so he escaped out of the jaws of Kirke's lambs back to London. His first published work was written to warn his fellow religionists not to trust to James's offers. This counsel was not well received. Immense was his joy when William landed. At that time Defoe was a hosier, but he had a soul verily, and indeed, above trade. He got into difficulties, and would have been made bankrupt but that his bond was deemed sufficient. It was faithfully discharged, though he had to toil hard to fulfil the obliga tion. But this was not his last attempt at business. He opened a tilery near Tilbury Fort, and Mr. Lee had the pleasure of seeing it unearthed some nine years ago, when the Tilbury and Southend Railway was made. This business prospered until Defoe got thrown into prison. The misadventure happened in this wise. The High Church and Tory party, of whom Dr. Sacheverell was the idol, were for making very short work with Dissenters. For instance, it had been customary for Nonconfo rm i s t s to resort to " occasion a l conformity " in order that they might fill certain civic and public offices. In that way— by attending church once on a Sunday —a Dissenter some times obtained the mayoralty. But the bigots were determined to put a stop to this. They did not want to see Dissenters at church, they wanted only to keep them out of the State. So a bill was brought in by the Commons to prohibit " occasional conformity." The Lords were at that time the upholders of civil and • religious liberty, and they rejected the bill. The Commons reintroduced it ,• the Lords again rejected it. The Commons then tacked it on to a money bill, but still the L or d s h e ld fi rm . D ur i ng this controversy Defoe, who did not approve of occasional conformity, but still less approved of the bigotry of the Sacheverell party, wrote a pamphlet called " The Shortest Way with Dissenters." It purported to come from the pen of a Tory, and it set forth all the most extravagant ideas of the party in words just such as they were accus tomed to use, but carried to logical results which they had not hitherto ventured to suggest. The boldness of this anonymous writer delighted them. Here was a true man, here was one ready to go all lengths. A Cambridge Fellaw declared of the pamphlet "that next to the Holy Bible and the Sacred Commandments I take it for the most valuable piece. I have, I pray God, put it into her Majesty's heart to put what is there proposed into execution." That is to exterminate them all. But after a time it became rumoured that the tract was written by a Dissenter, and was intended as a satire on the Tory party, whereupon they were furious, and the Govern. ment proclaimed a reward in the London Gazette for his capture. He surrendered himself voluntarily, was tried, sentenced to a heavy fine, exposure in the pillory three times, and imprisonment at the Queen's pleasu re . Th e exposure in the pillory was a triumph for Defoe. The peaple came round and cheered him, and handed up garlands to him, and sang verses in his honour. The other part of the sentence had to be borne alone. During his imprisonment his business at Tilbury was utterly ruined, and he had to support his wife and six children as best he could. He turned to literature, wrote pamphlets, and then published his famous paper, The _Review. His imprisonment lasted more than eighteen months, and he obtained his release only through the exertions of Harley. From that time forward his position improved. The death of William had blighted all his hopes of State advancement, and for five years he was under a cloud. But in 1707 he was employed officially in Scotland to carry out the arrangements for the union between Scotland and England. Even when his patron Harley fell from power Defoe contrived to remain in the good graces of Queen Anne, and was sent a second time to Scotland. Then, as always, he was an advocate for peace. A senseless war h a d been raging for years, and the nation was quite intoxicated by the successes of Marlborough. But Defoe saw the huge burden of debt which they were heaping upon the nation. A panic came in 1710, and he wrote " An Essay upon Public Credit," which did much to restore confidence. He still urged peace, and at last saw the Treaty of Utrecht signed April 11, 1713. There was another question to which he directed attention. The Queen had no children who were to succeed her. He wrote strongly against the Pretender. Nevertheless, there were persons who purposely misunderstood him, and legal proceedings were instituted against him for sup porting the Pretender. The Queen, however, interposed, and stopped the prosecution, declaring that it had been instigated only by private malice. On the death of the Queen he got into trouble with the Lords Regent, and soon afterwards had a shock of apoplexy, from which, however, he recovered. This brings us to the period at which he entered upon the questionable engagement men tioned at the outset. There had been a quarrel between Defoe and the Whigs, and this enabled him to conduct the Tory journals with the greater ease, it being thought but natural that he shouldwrite against those who had ill-used him. In reality the quarrel had been made up, and while the Tories thought he had been driven over to them, he was in reality betraying them. It was in 1719, just 150 years ago, that "R . obinson Crusoe " was written, and, if Chalmers be correct, the MS. went the round of the pub lishers before one would undertake it. Yet four editions were sold almost immediately, and Taylor, who undertook the publication of it, made his fortune. Defoe himself now began to amass money, and looked on calmly while his countrymen were being ruined by John Law. A little later he had a violent quarrel with Mist, his colleague in some of the Tory papers. Mist had discovered Defoe's trick, and gttempted to assassinate him. After that he wrote some strange books. One of them, at least,had a title so eccentric that " decency forbids " us to name it. He hesitated for some time before publishing it, and when at last t he tahseenfruseitaof of p u h b is li l c ab d o u u y rs .
