Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-25 00:00:00 Aparna Swaminathan When one finds out about Defoe's life as a tradesman himself, I suspect this book is more 'Do as I say, not as I do'. But it's a fascinating slice of 18th century British life and still surprisingly relevant.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-03-17 00:00:00 Heather Nash Perfect if you want to become an 18th century English tradesman. If not, you still get an interesting look into 18th century British values, especially as they relate to an emerging consumer culture. A very patriotic book. Defoe talks at length about the superiority of the British way of life, and he even calls the English climate the best in the world (ha! :D).
