ANON
Pay Your Footing; Or, An Adventure in Search of a Pew In His Parish Church by A Young Man From The Country
West Hartlepool, Privately Printed. 1871, First Edition. Original Printed Wrappers. Book, 12pp. Sold by Jennett and Co (Stockton); Wilkinson (Middlesborough); Proctor (Hartlepool) & Wilson (West Hartlepool). As the title makes plain this is a satirical squib aimed at the practice of selling all the best seats in church to those who could afford them. The Yellow wraps rubbed & lightly water stained (just affecting tail edge of text-block), split at spine & reinforced internally. C20th date incongruously on inside cover. Good.
