The countryman's guide to London. Or, villainy detected. Being a clear discovery of all the various tricks and frauds that are daily practiced in that great city. Among many of which, are the following, viz. Highwaymen, or Scamps, Sharpers, Gamblers, Kidnappers, Waggon-Hunters, Money-Droppers, Duffers, Setters, Pretended Friends, Mock Auctions, Register-Offices, Quacks, Bullies, Bawds, Whores, Pimps, Jilts, Gossips, and Fortune-Tellers. The whole laid down in so plain and comprehensive a manner, as to enable the most innocent Country People to be sufficiently on their Guard how to avoid the base Impositions of such vile and abandoned Artists, who live by robbing and ruining the young and innocent of both sexes. Together with General Remarks on the present State and Condition of the Town, interspersed with useful Admonitions.
printed for J. Cooke, at the Shakespear's Head in Pater-Noster-Row
