First edition of this key source for Newgate prison in the age of Defoe, unquestionably one of its most famous inmates. Although academic writers often attribute the work to Defoe to this day, his bibliographers generally dispute this. Defoe's frequently clandestine approach to publication, and his ability to write persuasively…on any side of an issue, has resulted in an ever-changing canon. By the late 19th century, when this work was rebound, almost 400 titles were assigned to Defoe - nearly 300 more than listed in the first (1790) bibliography of his work. Many of these claims were based on subjective internal evidence of style and content. The attribution of the History to Defoe is easiest to understand on thematic grounds: he had spent five months in Newgate in 1703, a spell which defined the course of his life for many years to come. Moll Flanders spent several equally key periods of her life there. The work certainly reflects on people Defoe had known personally, including the prison chaplain Paul Lorrain, although the History is considerably more sympathetic to him than Defoe was in his correspondence. The History discusses Newgate's layout, conditions, and customs, paying particular attention to its use as a prison for Jacobite rebels after 1715. ESTC T36511. Not in Furbank and Owens or Moore. Octavo (186 x 117 mm), pp. [vi], 142. Wood-engraved headpiece. Late 19th-century crushed red morocco, spine ruled and decorated in gilt and with twin dark green morocco labels, covers panelled and with cornerpieces in gilt, turn-ins in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges marbled and gilt. Contemporary ink signature of one George Gordon to title page and infrequent annotations to contents. Faint sunning to spine, minor browning and foxing to contents: a very good copy.

Third edition in English of Memoirs, first of Continuation, together a handsomely bound anti-Jesuit satire. These works follow a Catholic clergyman who converts to Judaism. The Memoirs was first published in French in 1708 by Jean Olivier, a Gascon Franciscan. ESTC considers it to be "possibly translated by Defoe", who had studi…ed French at the dissenting academy in Newington Green. Defoe's frequently clandestine approach to publication, and his ability to write persuasively on any side of an issue, has resulted in an ever-changing canon, although Olivier's religious satire has certain thematic similarities with some of his confirmed works. ESTC T155080; T139038. McBurney 46d; 168. 2 works bound in 1, octavo (187 x 112 mm), pp. [xii], 355, [1]; pp. [viii], [1]-171, [3]. Engraved frontispiece (Continuation) and 16 other engraved plates, wood-engraved head- and tailpieces and initials. Late 19th-century crushed red morocco, spine ruled and decorated in gilt and with twin dark green morocco labels, covers panelled and with cornerpieces in gilt, turn-ins in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges marbled and gilt. Light sunning to spine, minor browning, foxing, and offsetting to contents, small burn mark to S8 and short closed tear to upper margin of Aa2, just touching text (Memoirs): a very good copy.

Second edition, a handsomely bound copy of this Anglican guide to the religions of the world, formerly attributed to Daniel Defoe. This second edition adds "near two Hundred and Fifty articles" (p. [8]), many of which seem designed to further support the Anglican establishment. Defoe's frequently clandestine approach to publicat…ion, and his ability to write persuasively on any side of an issue, has resulted in an ever-changing "canon." By the late 19th century, when this work was rebound, almost 400 titles were assigned to Defoe - nearly 300 more than listed in the first (1790) bibliography of his work. The attribution of this work to Defoe is unlikely, given that the Dictionarium shows a strong bias towards traditional Anglican episcopacy, while Defoe was a lifelong non-conformist. As English colonial settlements proliferated throughout the 17th century, the Anglican church increased its efforts to engage with foreign cultures and religions. Several great missionary societies were formed during this time, including the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (1699) and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (1701). The first edition of the Dictionarium sacrum seu religiosum (Dictionary of Religions, Ancient and Modern) was published soon afterwards, in 1704. ESTC T138452. Not in Moore or Furbank & Owens. Octavo (187 x 116 mm), pp. [388]. Wood-engraved head- and tailpiece. Late 19th-century crushed red morocco, spine ruled and decorated in gilt and with twin dark green morocco labels, covers panelled and with cornerpieces in gilt, turn-ins in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges marbled and gilt. Light sunning to spine, minor spotting to contents, otherwise crisp: a very good copy indeed.

Second edition, following the first of 1725, of a handsomely bound travelogue formerly attributed to Daniel Defoe. This attribution is easiest to understand on biographical grounds. The life of John Macky (d. 1726) shares several similarities with that of Defoe. Both men were active in late Stuart espionage - at the time of the…union, for instance, Defoe was canvassing political support in Edinburgh while Macky was monitoring Jacobite naval activity in Dunkirk. Both men spent time in debtor's prison, and both turned to writing as a means of repairing their financial position. Like Defoe, Macky produced numerous examples of travel writing and political propaganda, but the Journey is among the works most closely rooted in his own experiences. His early government work involved managing the packet service to the Netherlands, and he first visited the region when spying on Jacobite networks in the early 1700s. J. D. Alsop notes that the Journey probably masks further "espionage work in the territories" (ODNB). Defoe's frequently clandestine approach to publication, and his ability to write persuasively on any side of an issue, has resulted in an ever-changing "canon." By the late 19th century, when this work was rebound, almost 400 titles were assigned to Defoe - nearly 300 more than listed in the first (1790) bibliography of his work. ESTC T63086. Octavo (187 x 118 mm), pp. [iii]-xxx, [2], 205, [1], [26]; lacking half-title. Wood-engraved head- and tailpieces and historiated initials. Late 19th-century crushed red morocco, spine ruled and decorated in gilt and with twin dark green morocco labels, covers panelled and with cornerpieces in gilt, turn-ins in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges marbled and gilt. Faint sunning to spine, minimal spotting to otherwise fresh contents: a very good copy indeed.

First editions of this satirical critique of institutional obsequiousness and hypocrisy, in a handsome late 19th-century binding. The Defoeian attribution of the History is easiest to understand in literary terms: much like Defoe, John Oldmixon (1672/3-1742) wrote many histories and political pamphlets. As an avowed Whig, howeve…r, he often decried the older man as a lackey of the Tory party. Defoe's frequently clandestine approach to publication has resulted in an ever-changing canon and a tendency to conflate his style with early 18th-century literature more generally. By the late 19th century, almost 400 titles were assigned to Defoe. This is nearly 300 more than listed in the first (1790) bibliography of his work, where both parts of the History are entered (as "undoubtedly De Foe's") on page 76. ESTC T61258; T61257. 2 vols bound in 1, octavo (185 x 114 mm), pp. [xvi], 244, [8]; pp. iv, 358, [10]. Late 19th-century crushed red morocco, spine ruled and decorated in gilt and with twin dark green morocco labels, covers panelled and with cornerpieces in gilt, turn-ins in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges marbled and gilt. Light sunning to spine, minor browning and foxing to contents: a very good copy.

First edition in English of this entertaining critique of Cartesian philosophy, formerly attributed to Daniel Defoe. The Voyage, recounting a journey through Cartesian space, draws out several aspects of Descartes's thought. As a French Jesuit, royal historian, and polemicist, Gabriel Daniel (1649-1728) had several reasons to wr…ite a narrative satire of famed philosopher. In the Voyage, the disembodied soul of Descartes travels to and beyond the moon, to build a world from the unformed matter that his philosophy tells him he must find there. In weaving this tale, Daniel criticizes Cartesian mind-body dualism, vortices, and the material uniformity of the physical world. For Justin E. H. Smith, this blends the line between satire and treatise: "We also see in the Voyage an accurate reflection of some of the most important implications of Descartes's thought" (p. 11). Defoe's frequently clandestine approach to publication, and his ability to write persuasively on any side of an issue, has resulted in an ever-changing "canon." By the late 19th century, when this work was rebound, almost 400 titles were assigned to Defoe. This is nearly 300 more than listed in the first (1790) bibliography of his work, where the Voyage is entered (as "undoubtedly De Foe's") on page 71. The translation was undertaken (and the epistle signed) by Thomas Taylor (1669/70-1735), then at Magdalen College, Oxford. The attribution to Defoe is perhaps easiest to understand in literary terms: Defoe was known to have written other popular works in the lunar literature genre, including the Consolidator (1705). The Voyage was first published, in French, in 1690. ESTC R5098. Justin E. H. Smith, "Gabriel Daniel: Descartes Through the Mirror of Fiction", in Steven Nadler, Tad M. Schmaltz, and Delphine Antoine-Mahut, eds, The Oxford Handbook of Descartes and Cartesianism, 2019. Octavo (186 x 113 mm), pp. [xvi], 298, [6]. Wood-engraved diagrams. Late 19th-century crushed red morocco, spine ruled and decorated in gilt and with twin dark green morocco labels, covers panelled and with cornerpieces in gilt, turn-ins in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges marbled and gilt. Faint sunning to spine, minor browning and foxing to contents, closed tear to outer margin of S2: a very good copy.

First edition, presumed first issue, of this eyewitness account of late Stuart warfare, formerly attributed to Daniel Defoe. These memoirs have been read and admired by such notable figures as Samuel Johnson and Walter Scott. George Carleton (c.1651-1728) fought as an army engineer in several key military campaigns mounted by la…te Stuart England, including the Anglo-Dutch wars and the War of the Spanish Succession. In the latter, he was captured by the Spanish, and the Memoirs includes extensive observations on the Spain of Philip V. Boswell reports that Samuel Johnson found in the Memoirs "such an air of truth, that he could not doubt its authenticity" (quoted in ODNB), while Scott had the work reprinted in 1808 and hoped in his preface that "our present army possesses many such characters". Until the discovery of documentary evidence in the 1920s, Carleton was long assumed to be one of Daniel Defoe's fictional creations. Defoe's frequently clandestine approach to publication has resulted in an ever-changing canon, but the attribution of the Memoirs to him is easiest to understand on stylistic terms. Its flow and structure is comparable to some of Defoe's more securely attributed works, most obviously the Memoirs of a Cavalier (1720). ESTC identifies two issues of this work: the present lacks the postscript to the "To the reader" section. ESTC N727; Moore 500; Trent p. 23. P. N. Furbank & W. R. Owens, Defoe De-Attributions, 1994, pp. 144-5. Octavo (188 x 120 mm), pp. [viii], 352. Wood-engraved headpieces and initial. Late 19th-century crushed red morocco, spine ruled and decorated in gilt and with twin dark green morocco labels, covers panelled and with cornerpieces in gilt, turn-ins in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges marbled and gilt. Light sunning to spine, minor browning to contents, neat paper repair to E5 & O8: a very good copy.

First edition of this handsomely bound adventure narrative, attributed to Defoe until the later years of the 20th century. The Four Years Voyages follows Roberts (by all accounts a real historical figure) as he is captured by pirates, set adrift in a sloop, shipwrecked, and pursued across the Cape Verde Islands. Defoe's frequent…ly clandestine approach to publication has resulted in an ever-changing canon. By the late 19th century, when this work was rebound, almost 400 titles were assigned to Defoe, nearly 300 more than listed in the first (1790) bibliography of his work. The attribution of the Four Years Voyages to Defoe, primarily on stylistic grounds, demonstrates the shift in critical attitudes to his famed prose style, for the work is now thought to be that of an less sophisticated imitator recounting Roberts's story. ESTC T56902; Moore 483; Trent p. 23. P. N. Furbank & W. R. Owens, Defoe De-Attributions, 1994, pp. 142-3. Octavo (189 x 118 mm), pp. [vi], 458 pp. Engraved folding map frontispiece and three other plates, wood-engraved head- and tailpieces and historiated initials. Late 19th-century crushed red morocco, spine ruled and decorated in gilt and with twin dark green morocco labels, covers panelled and with cornerpieces in gilt, turn-ins in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges marbled and gilt. Light sunning to spine, minor browning and foxing to contents, plates crisp and complete: a very good copy.

First editions of these major biographical sources for the deaf and mute soothsayer who became a cause célèbre in early Georgian London. Duncan Campbell (c. 1680-1730) established himself in London by reading a wealthy young widow's fortune in his own favour. He soon showed a similar capacity to ingratiate himself among the elit…es of early Georgian London, the History even winning him a presentation at court. Defoe and Campbell share an instinct for showmanship, but beyond that the Defoeian attribution of the History is hard to support - not least because the publisher was a known enemy of his. Defoe's frequently clandestine approach to publication has resulted in an ever-changing canon, and a tendency to conflate his style with early 18th-century literature more generally. The Secret Memoirs was published a year after his death in 1731. ESTC T69700, T72257; Moore 432; Trent p. 21-2. P. N. Furbank & W. R. Owens, Defoe De-Attributions, 1994, pp. 126. 2 works, octavo (186 x 116 mm), pp. xx, [4], 320; pp. [vi], 239, [1]. Engraved portrait frontispieces and 3 other engraved plates, wood-engraved head- and tailpieces and initials. Late 19th-century crushed red morocco, spines ruled and decorated in gilt and with twin dark green morocco labels, covers panelled and with cornerpieces in gilt, turn-ins in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges marbled and gilt. Light sunning to spines, minor browning and foxing to contents: a very good set.
