Item # 724650
October 30, 1733
THE HYP-DOCTOR, London, Oct. 30, 1733  The title is an archaic phrase for a "hodgepodge of nonsense". This curious satirical paper published from 1730-1741, a pro-Walpole (first Prime Minister of Great Britain) newspaper created to oppose another British title "The Craftsman". It was published by John "Orator" Henley, a clergyman know for showmanship and eccentricity.
Rather than presenting news items the newspaper is more editorial in format focused on a single theme. A single sheet issue with wide, untrimmed margins, 9 by 14 1/4 inches, red tax stamp on the back page, very nice condition.

Item from our most recent catalog - #365 - released for April, 2026

(Added to the April, 2026 Catalog (#365) after its initial release - only available on-line.)
