Defoe wrote "Moll Flanders" in 1721, and his book is chiefly remarkable for the graphic account of the plantations in Virginia. This Chap-book is a condensed version, and is not very edifying reading. Its contents may be imagined by the titlepage, which is far fuller than Defoe's.
YOUTH'S WARNING-PIECE
or, The Tragical
HISTORY
OF
GEORGE BARNWELL
WHO WAS
UNDONE BY A STRUMPET
THAT CAUSED HIM
TO ROB HIS MASTER, AND
MURDER HIS UNCLE.
By other's harm learn to be wise
And ye shall do full well.
