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). Furban…k & 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.

Contact seller5-star seller[xxxii], 156, [4]pp., 8vo. With a preliminary advertisement leaf ("the second Part is now in the Press"), and four pages of publisher s advertisements at end. Some browning and spotting as usual, but a good large copy in late eighteenth-century half calf over marbled boards, spine gilt-ruled with a label; upper joint partly spli…t. On the front pastedown is a small old paper tag with a manuscript note "Bought at W.H. Crawford s Sale at Sotheby s 16.3.91." First and only edition (despite the preliminary notice no "second part" ever appeared), variously attributed to Daniel Defoe and to Thomas Price, with ESTC noting the "attribution to Defoe probably erroneous." The narrator has to leave Oxford University for want of funds and becomes a travelling beggar. He takes up with a mountebank selling quack remedies, and then an itinerant mock-parson; both of them dupe and rob him. He learns to beg from the gentry by sending appeals in verse, and then is taken up by a clergyman in Northamptonshire and ordained a deacon. But the clergyman has a sister: here my Cruel Step-mother, Fortune, begins again to try her Experiments upon me: From this very Instant this poor young Gentlewoman espouses a particular Tenderness and Esteem for me; which she so long unhappily fosters and cherishes in her breast, that at length by degrees it swell d into a violent and passionate Love. And so the mendicant, unwilling to take advantage, sets off again, after more adventures becoming a contented shepherd in Dorset until his own literacy betrays him and he is suspected of being a Jesuit spy. Wing, Short-Title Catalogue, 1641-1700, C5646B; Mish, English Prose Fiction 1600-1700, pp. 87-88, treating the work as by Defoe. W.H. Crawford s was one of the major libraries dispersed in the 1890s; Seymour de Ricci, English Collectors of Books, p. 165, refers to it as "the sale of the great library of manuscripts, incunabula and other rare volumes, formed from 1870 onwards by William Horatio Crawford of Lakelands, County Cork.".

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.

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).
