Excerpt from The Works of Daniel Defoe, Vol. 8
Soul as Body, was published in 1722. Whether it came out before or after the Journal of the Plague Year, which appeared in March of the same year, cannot be definitely said. Though Mr. Lee accidentally omitted the Due Preparations from the catalogue of Defoe's works prefixed to the first volume of his Daniel Dg'be, there can be little doubt that the book was from Defoe's pen. It was on a subject which we know, from A Journal of the Plague Year, greatly interested him; and portions Of the book deal with incidents mentioned in the better known Journal. Besides, as Mr. Aitken has shown,' Due Preparations for the Plague is full of Defoe's mannerisms, both in vocabulary and in nar rative method. Neither is an instance of the former; the use of dialogue in the second part, of the latter. There seems to be no good reason for doubting Defoe's authorship.
