Note

Written in the first person. "Whether there was a real-life Ramkins remains an open question."--Furbank and Owens. The entry in the DNB is apparently entirely based on The memoirs.

Sometimes attributed to Daniel Defoe (Arthur W. Secord, Hutchins, Moore, Novak). Attribution disputed by Furbank and Owens, Defoe de-attributions.
