In honour of our author, Mr. Oldmixon observes, that he had an abhorrence of those that swore, or talked profanely in conversation. He looked upon it as a poor pretence to wit, and never excused it in himself or others.--I have already observed, that our author had a share in the Medley, a paper then set up in favour of the Hanoverian succession, in which he combats the Examiner, who wrote on the opposite, or, at least, the High-Church Interest. He also wrote the following pieces. 1. Remarks on a late Romance, intitled the Memorial of the Church of England, or the History of the Ten Champions. 2. A Translation of the second Ode, of the first book of Horace. 3. A Translation of the fifth Book of Ovid's Metamorphoses. 4. A Character of the new Ministers, 1710. 5. Several Songs, Poems, Prologues and Epilogues. 6. There was a Manuscript given him to peruse, which contained Memoirs of the duke of Marlborough's famous march to Blenheim: It was written by a chaplain of the duke's, with great exactness as to the incidents, but was defective in form. Mr. Maynwaring was desired to alter and improve it, which he found too difficult a task; but being greatly pleased with the particular account of all that pass'd in that surprizing march, he resolved that it should not be lost, and to give it a new and more perfect form himself, by reducing a kind of diary into a regular history. These papers fell into the hands of Sir Richard Steel. 7. A Translation of part of Tully's Offices. 8. Four Letters to a Friend in North-Britain, written upon the publishing Dr. Sacheveral's Trial. 9. The History of Hannibal, and Hanno, from the best authors: In this piece he is supposed to intend by Hannibal, the duke of Marlborough; by Hanno, the lord treasurer Oxford, by Valerius Flaccus, count Tallard, and by Asdrubal, Dr. Robinson, bishop of Bristol. 10. The Speech of Alcibiades to the Athenians, printed in the Whig-Examiner, Numb. 3. 11. The French King's Promise to the Pretender. 12. A Short Account, and Defence of the Barrier Treaty. 13. Remarks upon the present Negotiation of Peace, begun between Great-Britain and France. 14. The Bewdley Cafe. 15. He had a considerable hand in a Letter to a High-Churchman. 16. He revived and published a treatise called Bouchain, in a Dialogue between the Medley and the Examiner, about the management of the war in 1711. 17. He wrote a Letter to the Free-holders, a little before the election of the new Parliament. 18. He had a great hand in a pamphlet, entitled the British Academy, wherein he rallied Dr. Swift's Letter to the lord treasurer Oxford, about altering the English language. 19. The Letter from Doway, was written by him, or some friend of his, with his assistance.
