About This Item
London: Printed for J. Roberts, 1731.. [4],viii,48pp. Octavo. Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume. Terminal signature G neatly detached, otherwise a very good copy, with the half- title. First edition, of a sort, as ESTC indicates that "copies are made up with sheets of at least two impressions and at least two editions randomly mixed." THE CRAFTSMAN was an anti-Whig British newspaper which operated from 1726 to 1752. Established by Lord Bolingbroke and William Pulteney, it was edited by Nicholas Amhurst under the pseudonym "Caleb D'Anvers." Yonge was an advocate of Walpole and was consequently appointed commissioner of the Treasury in 1724. This is his widely circulated sortie on the Whig side into an extended pamphlet controversy over the paper's attacks. Kress attributes the extended dedication to Baron Hervey. ESTC T47414. KRESS S3387.
