Showing I. The Nature Of Matrimony, Its Sacred Original, And The True Meaning Of Its Institution II. The Gross Abuse Of Matrimonial Chastity, From The Wrong Notions Which Have Possessed The World, Degenerating Even To Whoredom III. The Diabolical Practice Of Attempting To Prevent By Physical Preparations VI. How Married Persons May Be Guilty Of Conjugal Lewdness, And That A Man May, In Effect, Make A Whore Of His Own Wife.

The book was first published in 1727 anonymously, and only attributed to Defoe 22 years after his death. In it he argues that apparitions do indeed exist but not in the way that simple people of earlier times believed; and he explains why they are in the world and how people should behave regarding them. It was one of three books on the supernatural that he wrote toward the end of his life. Kincade contributes a headnote, textual notes, notes to lines, and an outline of materials and story types discussed. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The young Daniel Defoe thought he was destined to become a Presbyterian minister. Instead he became a man of letters: poet, political journalist, economic essayist, novelist. In his Essay on the Original of Literature of 1726, Defoe argues for the sacred Hebrew origins of modern writing--or, as he puts it, that "Power to make the Paper speak ." The work stands out as a writer's bold glorification of the craft of literature, radically understood.
