Memoirs of a Cavalier, or a Military Journal of the Wars in Germany and the Wars in England (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from Memoirs of a Cavalier, or a Military Journal of the Wars in Germany and the Wars in England
From the day the Memoirs appeared, there has been doubt as to their authorship. Defoe himself, in the preface to the first edition, declared it very probable these Memorials were written many years ago, by a gentleman of quality who had taken part in the wars of which he wrote. The publisher of the second edition, which came out at Leeds twenty years or more after the first,l evidently regarded De foe's statement as true, for he declared that the Memoirs could hardly be fiction they must be fact.
