Seite 79 - I perceived a trade in use among them, which was to lend out corn: the benefit of which was fifty per cent, per annum. This I saw to be the easiest and most profitable way of living: whereupon I took in hand to follow it ; and what stock I had, I converted into corn or rice in the husk. And now as customers came for corn, I let them have it; to receive back at their next harvest, when their own corn was ripe, the same quantity I had lent them, and half as much more.

Seite 83 - And now I began to apply myself to make such necessary things as I wanted . . . ";*° and much more of like import. These parallel passages are not cited as proofs in themselves of Defoe's debt to Knox, but merely as evidence that this relation of Knox's with which we know Defoe was familiar has narrative devices and situations identical with those of "Robinson Crusoe.
Seite 187 - ... attempts to portray all the varieties of human experience, and not merely those suited to one particular literary perspective: the novel's realism does not reside in the kind of life it presents, but in the way it presents it.
Seite 80 - ... will seize all upon the account of their debts, and leave no corn at all for those that come later. For these that come thus a borrowing, generally carry none of their corn home when it is ripe : for their creditors ease them of that labour, by coming into their fields and taking it ; and commonly they have not half enough to pay what they owe. So that they that miss getting their debts this year, must stay till the next; when it will be doubled, two measures for one ; but the interest never...
