A curious, rare item. $1,850. * The text of this anti-lawyer satirical broadside continues (in part): "The Public are particularly Cautioned against the depredations of the above-named FILTHY ANIMALS, as they are known to be peculiarly attached to that which is not their own:---i.e. 'Rates'." William Oram may have been the author of the broadside text. The imprint is fictitious, but the "Weddington Lane" in the title refers to a street in Warwickshire.
