Not Stated , Privately Printed , 1935. Brochure/Pamphlet. A very scarce pamphlet comprising three satirical works reflecting the conflicts caused by new alcohol laws in the Stuart period. Containing two 'Lamentable Complaints' pamphlets, which were originally printed in 1641 and comment on the perilous position of brewers, butchers, tapsters, and cooks. They concern the new Puritan laws which attempted to enforce commercial and recreational restrictions on Sundays (i.e. 'blue laws').The other work included here is 'The Whole Tryal and Indictment of Sir John Barley-Corn, Knight', a satirical allegorical work printed in 1709 that uses the structure of a legal proceeding to critique the negative impacts of excessive drinking on individuals and society. In the original wraps. Presented for the San Francisco Public Library Schmulowitz Collection of Wit and Humor, founded in 1947 by library commissioner, lawyer, author, civic leader, and book collector Nat Schmulowitz (1889-1966). In the original wraps. Externally, age toned, with instances of rubbing to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean, with the exception of two bookplates tipped in to the verso of the front cover and to the front free endpaper. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
