Defoe Daniel Attributed Author (7 results)

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.

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, 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).
