Opis

First published in 1724, this small octavo work became so popular it grew through four editions over two years and historians from both sides of the Atlantic have attested to the accuracy of the work's content. This exhilarating reprint of Hayward's fourth edition is available as part of the five-volume set "Key Writings on Subcultures 1535-1727" or as a single volume.
