500 $a'Advertisement', on recto of p.[3], reads: The ensuing Life was written for amusement, during a period of convalescence in 1785; and published anonymously by Stockdale, before The History of the Union, in 1786. As the Author fears no reproach for such amusement, during such a period, he made no strong objections to Stockdale's solicitations, that it might be annexed, with the Author's name, to this splendid edition of Robinsoe Crusoe. The reader will now have the benefit of a few corrections, with some additions, and a List of De Foe's Writings'.
