[TAYLOR, John (1580-1653) - Attributed to]
St. Hillaries Teares Shed Upon All Professions, from the Judge to the petty Fogger. From the spruce Dames of the Exchange, to the durty walking Fishmongers. From the Covent Garden Lady of iniquity, to the Turnebal streete Trull, And indeed from the Tower
London: 1642. 8vo.; pp. 8. A humourous pamphlet on the recess of the Long Parliament in 1641/1642, during the dark period of the Plague and the political unrest, at the height of the English Revolution at which time, in addition to all other troubles, English society suffered the social and economic costs of militarisation. 8 pages of text, fine, held in a folded marbled paper wrapper and encased in a larger hardback chemise of grey boards with a green cloth spine, the whole made-up for protective purpose.
