Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, Conway vol. 4, page 94.
In Deuteronomy, the style and manner of writing marks more evidently than in the former books that Moses is not
the writer. (…) This interchange of speakers occurs four times in this book: from the first verse of the first chapter, to the end of the fifth verse, it is the writer who speaks; he then introduces Moses as in the act of making his harangue, and 
this continues to the end of the 40th verse of the fourth chapter; here the writer drops Moses, and speaks historically of what was done in consequence of what Moses, when living, is supposed to have said, and which the writer has dramatically rehearsed.
