8vo in fours, pp. 40; in modern boards, with calf spine, lettered in gilt. First edition - there appears to be a reprint, in 28pp only, by the same printer in the same year. This pamphlet, replying to Matthew Tindal's Defection Consider'd (December 1717), was attributed to Defoe in Edmund Curll's Memoirs of Tindal (1733). Furbank & Owens assess the probability of its really being by Defoe as very low, as it is 'incompetent and partisan'; and they suggest that Curll's ascriptions to Defoe are 'distinctly questionable'. Nevertheless, this is not just another of Moore's random twentieth-century attributions, but one made within fifteen years of publication, so it perhaps has a bit more credibility than usual. Moore 388; Furbank & Owens, Defoe De-attributions, pp. 106-7.

Hardcover (Full Leather). Condition: Very Good Condition. First Edition. Rebound in ca. early 20th century full polished calf, gilt turn ins, marbled endpapers. Rear hinge a touch rubbed, a few minor scattered stains, foxing, added rear endpapers have browned the final couple pages, but a generally clean, bright copy. Lacking the frontis portrait. Appendix with a separate title but continuously paginated. 239pp. A nice copy of this biography of the famous deaf and dumb seer and clairvoyant who attracted a stream of London society to his home for decades in the early 18th century. Supposedly written by Campbel himself, but not. Often, but in our view very doubtfully, attributed to Defoe. More likely written by Eliza Haywood who had earlier published two Duncan Campbel related stories (A Spy Upon the Conjuror in 1724 and The Dumb Projector in 1725) and was a frequent visitor. Campbel remains a figure of interest in historical studies, the occult, and disability studies. Provenance: Armorial bookplate of Chase. Size: Octavo (8vo). Quantity Available: 1.

First edition. 23pp, [1]. Recent half-morocco, marbled paper boards, ruled and lettered in gilt. A trifle rubbed. Text-block shaved at head. A patriotic pamphlet, commonly attributed to Daniel Defoe (1660?-1731), championing the astronomical rise and prosperity of British silk and wool manufacture as compared with health of the trade in France and Spain: 'That the Silk Manufacture of this Kingdom, by the Incouragement it hath receiv'd from the Crown, and divers Acts of Parliament, is above twenty times as great as it was in the Year 1664, and all sorts of as good Black and Colour'd Silks, Gold and Silver Stuffs and Ribbonds, are now Made here as in France, or any other Foreign Country.' Presented to both Houses, the address was likely precipitated by the 1713 French commerce bill, an attempt to settle Anglo-French trade at the conclusion of the War of the Spanish Succession.

Small 4to., (7 7/8 x 5 6/8 inches). 8-pages (disbound, last leaf a bit marked). Sometimes attributed to Daniel Defoe, the author of this pamphlet voices strong opinions on the hottest of topics of the day: a possible war with France and the Act of Settlement: "So that if you would make any thing of that late Act of Settlement of the Crown, besides waste paper,." During the "spring and summer of 1701 public opinion crystallized in favour of war against France. The French King's provocations made clear his expansionist aims in Europe and their threat to English interests. The 1701-2 Parliament which like its predecessor lasted for only a single session was largely concerned with the preparations for war, and made rapid progress with necessary measures. But the death of William III on 8 Mar. 1702 halted expectations of a return of the Junto lords to power to manage war as they had done in the 1690s. The accession of his sister-in-law Princess Anne initiated instead a revival of Tory prospects. "At the general election in November and December 1701 contests took place in 91 (34 per cent) of the 269 English and Welsh constituencies. Prolonged attack on the Tories had filled the press for months beforehand, much of it centring on a published 'black list' of MPs who had lately opposed the preparations for war. The widely publicized discovery, too, of three Tory MPs ensconced in a Westminster tavern with the French charge d'affairs Poussin gave Whig propagandists a field day in denouncing as 'Poussineers' those Tories suspected of Jacobite sympathies. But though the Whigs inflicted heavy blows in some constituencies, they did not achieve the overwhelming majority expected. The new House consisted of 248 Whigs and 240 Tories, with a further 24 MPs unclassified. Out of the 515 MPs who sat during this Parliament, 82 (16 per cent) had no previous parliamentary experience, while 91 more had sat in one earlier Parliament. Among the latter were Sir Christopher Wren and Isaac Newton" (The History of Parliament Trust online). ESTC T63001. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.

8vo, engraved portrait frontispiece of the King, and pp. [ii], 376; 129, [1] blank, [4] advertisements; a good copy, in contemporary panelled calf, spine a little worn, label mostly missing. First and only edition: attributed to Defoe along with a previous volume, Annals of King George, year the second, by J.R. Moore. Furbank & Owens cast doubt on the idea that Defoe could have written either work, writing of this volume that 'one is at a loss to find anything definitely pointing to Defoe at all' - mainly because it is a pro-Government and directly opposed to Mercurius Politicus, with which he was certainly involved. Furbank & Owens, Defoe De-attributions, 351 and 385.

8vo. 5 x 7 inches. 31 pp. + [1]. Bound in limp buckram, gilt with new endpapers. Some edge water stains but otherwise a good copy. This copy differs slightly from those quoted in ESTC below. It has the imprint date, but not the page misnumbering of N221 and is otherwise identical to T108575, except that the latter has no date in the imprint (see also T165272 which appears to have no address in the imprint). Although sometimes attributed to Daniel Defoe, it is not included in any of the standard Defoe bibliographies. Certainly he did write anti-Hanoverian pamphlets at this time; an example is Reasons against the Succession of the House of Hannover, 1713, also printed for J. Baker at the Black-Boy in Paternoster-Row. HISTORY/THEOLOGY POLITICS POLITICS PAMPHLETS 18TH CENTURY HISTORY/THEOLOGY ESTC N221/TIO8575/T165272.

8vo, pp. [320]; complete, but with some light worming at the foot in the middle of the volume; contemporary panelled calf, rebacked, new endpapers, preserving early bookplate (see below). First edition of a dictionary which has been attributed to Daniel Defoe, but there is scant merit in the attribution (not even Moore mentions it), and one assumes that it was compiled by a Grub Street hack, on behalf of James Knapton, its publisher. Provenance. Signature 'R. Asheton' at head of title; transferred armorial bookplate on the new endpapers of J. Gibson, A.M.; signatures of John Gibson and of George Gibson of Trinity College, Cambridge (presumably the George Gibson, c. 1830-1921, who was there in the 1850s).

In two parts. Part First containing, a state of the Devil's circumstances, from his expulsion out of heaven, to the creation; with remarks on the several mistakes concerning his fall. Part Second containing his more private conduct down to the present times; his government, his appearances, his manner of working, and the tools he works with. With a Description of the Devil's dwelling.Durham : Printed and sold by G. Walker, bookseller, Sadler Street, 1822. Octavo (225 x 140 mm), later binding of maroon cloth with gilt-lettered spine (boards and spine heavily sunned); front free-endpaper with ownership inscription of E. G. Besant dated 1923; pp. [1]-352, with one vignette illustration; occasional spotting, otherwise contents very good. 'First published in 1726, the book is divided into two parts. The first covers the history of the devil from his fall from heaven until the time the book was written, and the second his private conduct during that time. It was one of a trilogy of books Defoe wrote towards the end of his life, that address various occult subjects. Defoe specifically discusses the history and influence of the Archfiend, Satan, and his impact on human history in this book which is also known as ?The political history of the Devil? (Susan Isaac, Royal College of Surgeons of England Library).

Broadsheet, small folio (315 x 152 mm); left-hand margin trimmed close in lower half of sheet, touching a few letters, minor tears from previous fold, uniformly toned. A rare broadsheet sometimes attributed to Defoe (although more likely written by his agent in Scotland John Pierce), praising the Lords for their action affirming the right of freeholders to vote in the Aylesbury election. There is much evidence to associate Pierce with this pamphlet, and he may well have been the author, though it is possible that he and Defoe collaborated on it. Moore 74 describes a 4-page printing of this address, but notes there is a "copy with 2 unnumbered pages" at Indiana University. This copy would seem to conform to that at Indiana. "There can be no doubt that [Defoe] was deeply involved in it, in conjunction with.John Pierce.the weight of evidence is in favour of Pierce, rather than Defoe, as the actual author" (ESTC citing Furbank and Owens, Defoe de-attributions).
