DEFOE.
The luck of Datrial Defoe, whether in love or in letters, hafl never been very great ; but in one respect in has been singularly and exemplary. Although critical opinion of him * has distinctly advanced of late years, he has sever been put, and could never by a sane judgment be put, among the very greatest names of English literature. Yet no one out of the cirole of those very greatest names has enjoyed, and more than one among those very greatest names has lacked, anything like the' amount of biographical pains that has been expended on him.
