Oldmixon, John (1673--1742)
[A detection of the sophistry and falsities of the pamphlet. Part 1]
A detection of the sophistry and falsities of the pamphlet, entitul d [sic], The secret history of the White Staff. Containing an enquiry into the Staff's conduct in the late management, particularly with respect to the Protestant succession.
London (Place), printed for J. Roberts,, 1714.
36 p. ; 17.9 cm. (8º)
Anonymous. By John Oldmixon. A response to the first part of The secret history of the White Staff, written anonymously by Daniel Defoe in defence of his one-time patron Robert Harley, who had just resigned the white staff of his office of Lord Treasurer and was facing Whig demands for impeachment on a charge of high treason. Two further parts were added to Defoe's original pamphlet in 1714 (q.v.) and 1715 (q.v.), and a continuation of Oldmixon's response was also published in 1714 (q.v.). Woodcut capital and head- and tail-pieces. ESTC t31735.
Copy Notes Bound with thirteen further short publications on the same and other subjects, including Defoe's The secret history of the White-Staff (q.v.) and part 2 of Oldmixon's response (q.v.). 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 'Hist. Of The White Staff Mitre & Purse'.
