This volume contains Daniel Defoe's 1898 guide to trading, "The Complete
English Tradesman". A comprehensive and interesting guide, it will
appeal to those with an interest in late-nineteenth century English
trading, and is not to be missed by collectors of Defoe's work. The
chapters of this volume include: "The Tradesman's Writing Letters", "The
Trading Style", "Of The Tradesman Acquiring Himself with all Business in
General", "Diligence and Application in Business", "Over-Trading",
etcetera. Daniel Defoe (1660 - 1731) was an English writer, journalist,
trader, and spy. Some of his most famous works include "Robinson Crusoe"
(1719), and "Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress" (1724). Many vintage texts
such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this
in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable,
high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially
commissioned biography of the author.
