[DEKKER, Thomas (c.1570-c.1641)]. English Villanieas Seven Severall Times prest to Death by the Printers; but (still reviving againe) are now the Eighth Time ... discovered by Lanthorne and Candle-Light; and the Helpe of a New Cryer, called O-Per-Se-O. London: M. Parsons for J. [Becket, 1638].
4° (173 x 127mm). Woodcut illustration of the Bellman on title-verso. (Lower fore-corner of title torn away and repaired with partial loss of imprint, top and bottom margins cut close with damage to or loss of most catchwords and signatures and a few headlines, some browning, staining or soiling.) Early 19th-century brown straight-grained morocco gilt in the style of Lewis, gilt edges.
A late edition of Dekker's description of low-life London in the early 17th century explaining every way in which a country gentleman, unused to the city, might be cheated, by prostitutes, horse-copers, innkeepers, Hackney-men and even nurses. Dekker's contempt and dislike is especially reserved for gypsies and at the end of the work he has appended a glossary of their language ('The Canters Dictionary') and several canting songs with their translation into English. STC 6492.
