About this book

A physician friend receives a letter from the narrator of Daniel Defoe's The Friendly Daemon, or The Generous Apparition, printed in London in 1726. The narrator recalls a long illness that began in 1717 with a sudden collapse in a coffee-house and lasted until late 1725, and promises to explain how he was delivered from it.

The title page presents the work as a true narrative of the cure of Dr. Duncan Campbell, described as deaf and dumb, by a spirit dressed in a white surplice who looked like a choirboy of a cathedral.

Daniel Defoe

Four books here, and only two of them were signed. Robinson Crusoe appeared in 1719 as the account of a mariner of York, written by himself, and readers took that literally for a while.
