[The history of addresses. Part 1]

London (Place), printed in the year 1709.
[16], 244, [8] p. ; 18.2 cm. (8º)
Anonymous. Attributed to John Oldmixon; sometimes attributed to Daniel Defoe and occasionally to Jonathan Swift. Claimed by Oldmixon in his Memoirs of the press, 1742.

ESTC t61258; Teerink/Scouten 1002.
Copy Notes Part of a uniformly bound 48-volume set of works by or attributed to Defoe which on the evidence of endleaves variously watermarked '1814', '1808', etc. was presumably assembled around 1810--15.
Binding C19th half calf, marbled-paper boards, gilt-tooled spine direct-lettered in gilt 'Defoe's Works' and 'History Of Addresses Vol. I.'.
