Ever since 1869, when William Lee inserted them in his bibliography of Defoe, in Daniel Defoe: His Life and Recently Discovered Writings (i, xxxii), two imaginary voyages to the moon and a letter from the Man in the Moon have been incorporated in the canon of Defoe's writings as separate and distinct from his main lunar voyage, The Consolidator, or Memoirs of Sundry Transactions from the World in the Moon (1705). These three are A Journey to the World in the Moon; A Second, and more Strange Voyage to the World in the Moon, both noted in the head title as “By the Author of the true Born English-man”; and A Letter from the Man in the Moon to the Author of the True Born English-man. All three were dated 1705, and all were printed first in London; then at least the first was reprinted at Edinburgh by James Watson in Craig's-closs. Each is a single sheet, a quarto of four pages, in double columns. In including these three publications as independent items in the Defoe canon, Lee has been followed by all the British and American bibliographers of Defoe: by Thomas Wright, William P. Trent, Henry C. Hutchins, and John Robert Moore.
