Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) was a prolific English writer, who is mostly known for the adventure novel 'The adventures Of Robinson Crusoe'. Defoe was a tradesman but many trading campaigns he took part in went bankrupt. Daniel Defoe now is considered one of those writers who influenced the development of novel as the genre in England. Besides novels Defoe also wrote political pamphlets and worked as a journalist writing on a great variety of topics. In his pamphlets he defended the individual liberty and the freedom of speech.

'An Essay On The Regulation Of The Press' was published in London in 1704. It is a pamphlet in which Defoe reveals his views on the point of press and the financial problems it deals with. Defoe expresses his idea that Newspapers shouldn't be put taxes on. This text can be interesting for those who study law, history and literature, as well as for admirers of Defoe's literary talent.
