THE HYP-DOCTOR, London, Oct. 9, 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.
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.
