The fable is always made for the moral, not the moral for the fable. I have heard that the envious and ill-disposed part of the world have raised some objections against the two first volumes, on pretence, for want of a better reason, that (as they say) the storj is feigned, that the names are borrowed, and that it is all a romance; that there never were any such man or place, or circumstances in any mans life; that it is all formed and embellished by invention to impose upon the world. I, Robinson Crusoe, being at this time in perfect and sound mind and memory, thanks be to God therefor, do hereby declare their objection is an invention scandalous in design, and false in fact; and do affirm that the stpryr though allegorical,, is also historical; and that it is the beaulifulrepresentation of a life of unexampled misfortunes, and of a variety not to be met with in the world, sincerely adapted to and intended for the common good of mankind, and designed at first, as it is now farther applied, to the most serious uses possible.
