Humorous and Philosophical Works from Early Modern Publishers
A crowded late 17th or early 18th century catalog lists pamphlets and books printed for W Boreham and others, featuring The Humourist with topics on Enthusiasm Witchcraft Ghosts and manners, Gay’s The Hoop Patticoat Comical Poem, Boerhave's medical compendium, Dr Delagulier's lectures, and various geographical and religious texts, plus notices for a lost black spaniel and a cookery of medical remedies. The items reflect a bustling London print market with multiple presses, prices, and broad subjects across theology, medicine, poetry, and travel.
