From the broadside: "The first advice is from the Journal kept by a London apothecary, in Shakespeare's time.

[New York]: Jack Smith, 1971. Unbound. Near Fine. Measuring 8.5" x 11". Printed recto only. Tiny bit of wear at one corner, else fine.

Dewsbury: Dawson & Son, Printers, 1901. Unbound. Very Good. Large broadside. Approximately 9¾" x 30". Printed in blue ink in several type sizes. Several old horizontal folds, one short tear, and modest chips to the right margin affecting no text, very good. Broadside for a play apparently created to capitalize on the vampire craze precipitated by Stoker's novel *Dracula* (published in 1897), which in turn was derived from medieval legends. The broadside gives detailed information on the members of the cast including "The Vampire - The Black Death of Paris - by Itself," "Ritza, The High Priest of Karma," and various heiresses, detectives, and so forth.

London: Margray, at his Old Office, 1789. Unbound. Very Good. Handbill printed both sides. Approximately 5.5" x 9". Printed in orange. Tiny holes in the left margin (possibly stitched together with others at one time), a tiny tear, and a little soiling, very good or better. A physically pleasing lottery invitation, whereby a guinea and a half might become 30,000 Pounds, conducted under the supervision of Margray: "Business has been transacted for upwards of TWENTY YEARS with the strictest Honour and Integrity, Margray has Reason to flatter himself, that the above Mode of adventuring will have the Preference of any other with the judicious and discerning Part of the Public." No doubt.
