contents: Title page of an 18th-century comedy about an 'unparalleled fraud' by a bookseller. It was probably never performed, because the text does not seem to be meant for that. It says in the imprint that this comedy was printed 'in the town of Craftiness, at the corner of the Lust of Gain Lane, across the Haystack of thievery, where deceit is written in the façade and Falsehood on the sign'. Insiders were probably perfectly aware which address was meant here.
