Originally published in 1903, this book contains an edition of John Earle's 'Micro-Cosmographie' taken from the sixth edition of 1633. Earle skewers the people and organisations of his time with balanced epigrammatic character sketches of types drawn from the various strata of society, ranging from children to drunkards, 'Church-Papists' and 'the Common Singing men'. This witty book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of satire.
