Street in the Strand, 1719.
An exact and beautiful reprint of this much-prized work, with the
Music to the Songs, just as in the rare original. In 6 vols., large

*** THE PILLS TO PURGE MELANCHOLY _have now retained their
celebrity for a century and a half. The difficulty of obtaining
a copy has of late years raised sets to a fabulous Price, and
has made even odd volumes costly. Considering the classical
reputation which the book has thus obtained, and its very
high interest as illustrative of the manners, customs, and
amusements of English life during the half century following the
Restoration, no apology is needed for placing such a work more
within the reach of general readers and students by re-issuing it
for the first time since its original appearance, and at about
a tithe of the price for which the old edition could now be
obtained._
