A varied 18th century print sale at the Queen's Head
A 1718 advertisement lists sermons and pamphlets on religion and politics, a furniture parcel from a great house in Nicholas Lane, a pest antidote sold in Fleet Street, and medical and moral treatises. It notes prices, shop locations, and a public danger notice for a runaway apprentice, with a relocation detail for a Mrs G lawes bookstore and Gideon readings nearby.
