=== Nonfiction === * ''[https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/73564 The Buccaneers and Marooners of America]'' (1684) but this is a later (1891) illustrated version with details of the book's history. * ''[[An Essay Upon Projects]]'' (1697) β subsections of the text include: "The History of Projects," "Of Projectors," "Of Banks," "Of the Highways," "Of Assurances," "Of Friendly Societies," "The Proposal is for a Pension Office," "Of Wagering," "Of Fools," "A Charity-Lottery," "Of Bankrupts," "Of Academies" (including a section proposing an academy for women), "Of a Court Merchant," and "Of Seamen." * ''[[The Storm (Daniel Defoe)|The Storm]]'' (1704) β describes the worst storm ever to hit Britain in recorded times. Includes eyewitness accounts. * ''Atlantis Major'' (1711) * ''The Family Instructor'' (1715) * ''Memoirs of the Church of Scotland'' (1717) * ''The History of the Remarkable Life of John Sheppard'' (1724) β describing Sheppard's life of crime and concluding with the miraculous escapes from prison that made him a public sensation. * ''A Narrative of All The Robberies, Escapes, &c. of John Sheppard'' (1724) β written by or taken down from Sheppard himself in the condemned cell before he was hanged for theft, apparently by way of conclusion to Defoe's work. According to the Introduction to Volume 16 of the works of Defoe published by J.M. Dent in 1895, Sheppard handed the manuscript to the publisher Applebee from the prisoners' cart as he was taken away to be hanged. Defoe's edition of the text includes corrections of factual details and an explanation of how Sheppard's escapes from prison were achieved. * ''[[A Tour thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain]]'' (1724β1727) * ''A New Voyage Round the World'' (1724) * ''[[The Political History of the Devil]]'' (1726) * ''The Complete English Tradesman'' (1726) * ''[[Conjugal Lewdness|A Treatise Concerning the Use and Abuse of the Marriage Bed]]...'' (1727) * ''[[A Plan of the English Commerce]]'' (1728) β describes how the English woolen textile [[Industrialisation|industrial base]] was developed by the [[protectionism|protectionist]] measures of the [[House of Tudor|Tudor]] monarchs, especially [[Henry VII of England]] and [[Elizabeth I]], including high [[tariff]]s on the importation of finished woollen goods, high taxes on raw wool leaving England, bringing in artisans skilled in wool textile manufacturing from the [[Low Countries]], selective [[government-granted monopoly]] rights, and government-sponsored [[industrial espionage]].
