Great title
I'd like to nominate this pamphlet in our collection as Most Entertaining
Title of the Month :
The drunkard's looking glass ; reflecting a faithful likeness of the
drunkard in sundry very interesting attitudes, with lively representations
of the many strange Capers which he cuts at different Stages of his Disease;
as first, when he has only "a drop in his eye"; second, when he is "half
shaved"; third, when he is getting "a little on the staggers or so"; and
fourth and fifth and so on, till he is "quite capsized," or "snug under the
table with the dogs"; and can "stick to the floor without holding on" / by
M.L. Weems.
8th ed. Baltimore : Printed for Mrs. F.M. Weems (widow of the author),
1843. Price twenty-five cents.
