The Art of Swimming and Bathing Devices
An 18th century catalog note advertises The Art of Swimming illustrated with figures and a prefatory discourse on artificial swimming. It lists vendors D Brown and others, with pricing and details on related books by Thevenin and Monier, plus a scandal pamphlet collection and notices about christenings and burials in several parishes. It also warns of a Quack doctor in Greys Inn Lane offering a harmful mercury cure with deceptive claims.
