(Tricks of the Town)

The Tricks of London Laid Open, Being a True Caution to Both Sexes in Town and Country … London: T. Sabine & Son, [?1799]

12mo (191 x 114 mm, uncut). Engraved frontispiece; frontispiece dust-soiled, stain in upper inner corner of title, bottom margins lightly stained throughout, F3 fore-edge frayed. New blue Holland paper wrappers, housed in a sturdy card folding-case. 

The eleventh edition. According to ESTC, the earliest recorded "Sabine and son" imprint is 1802. However, son Thomas was in partnership with his father in 1799. Since the paper is watermarked 1797, ESTC surmises that this edition was printed between 1797 and mid-1799.
