A rare title which rarely comes into hands of collectors...



Item # 705156

May 29, 1733

THE HYP-DOCTOR, London, Oct. 9, 1733  The title is an archaic phrase for a "hodgepodge of nonsense". This curious paper published from 1730-1741, a pro-Walpole (first Prime Minister of Great Britain) newspaper created to oppose another British title "The Craftsman".
The focus is noted in the masthead: "A Letter From a Dissenter to the Craftsman, Occsion'd by His Last Paper Entitled Some Considerations on the True Interest of the Protestant Dissenters..."
A single sheet issue with wide, untrimmed margins, 9 by 14 1/4 inches, red tax stamp on the back page, small loss to a blank lower corner, very nice condition.

Item from Catalog #355 (released for June, 2025)
