This is sometimes confused with another periodical, The Occasional Paper, by Richard Willis published in 1697-8. It appears, however, to be part of “ A Collection of Occasional Papers for the Year 1716 (-18)” edited by Avery with contributions by Simon Browne, Benjamin Grosvenor, Samuel Wright, John Evans, Jabez Earl, Nathaniel Lardner and Mose Lowman, and collectively known as the Bagweel Papers from the initials of the authors. The letters are replies to anti-dissenting texts. Copac locates two copies (BL & Edinburgh) of the collected edition (3 vols) and a few odd parts. BUCOP adds more.

Originally allied with Walpole, Pulteney gradually became alienated from him and in 1725 began a journalistic war against him through the columns of ‘The Craftsman’, finally joining with Sir William Wyndham in forming a new party of malcontent Whigs called “The Patriots”. His power as an orator led Walpole to observe that he feared Pulteney’s tongue more than another man’s sword.

They were captured and sent to London where they were found guilty of high treason and condemned to death. Kilmarnock and Balmerino were hung, drawn and quartered, the latter defiant and unrepentant ensuring his place among jacobite heros, but Cromarty, possibly though the influence of his father-in-law at court, was granted a last minute reprieve.

“Whitehead's first notable satire, The State Dunces (June 1733), in heroic couplets, was inscribed to Pope and indebted to The Dunciad (1728–9), but in so far as Whitehead raises his sights to take in bishops, politicians, and, above all, Walpole, he anticipates Pope's New Dunciad (1742). Robert Dodsley bought the copyright for 10 guineas, prompting Johnson, who had a low opinion of Whitehead, to insist on no less for his London (1738).” -- ODNB
