The Seven Deadly Sins of London
Edward Arber, 1879. Softcover. Fair. Item #00084624
Though noticeably worn, with a wide open tear at the bottom left rear of the cover (with small loss of text), interior tape repair of the cover and some loss of (blank) material at the spine, and some spotting and chipping along page edges, the text of this 19th century edition remains clean, the sewn binding secure. 50pp. Dekker's astute observations about the troubles of Tudor-into-Stuart London are fascinating for purposes from Shakespeare scholarship to public health studies, and the typography of this pamphlet is attractive (and true to Dekker's spellings, despite the modernization of his own name on the cover).
