Note: The History of the Campaigne in Germany and the Netherlands is sometimes attributed to Daniel Defoe. The dedication of the second work, The Hero of the Age, is signed 'Jasper Robins'; a copy is listed in the printed catalogue of what became Dr Williams's Library (Catalogue of the Library in Red Cross Street, Cripplegate, 1841, volume 2, p. 291), but the work is not in ESTC and no other copies are traced. The third work, Glukopikra, is a verse dialogue of unidentified authorship and contains a reference to the Duke of Marlborough at p. 27: 'M[enalcas]: By Sea and Land he knows how to command, / He Bembo is by Sea, Churchill by Land: / Th[yrsis]. Th'illustrious Marlborough! in whom alone / We have them all consummated in one'.
