General note"The smoaking age, or, The man in the mist ..." has a separate dated t.p.; pagination continuous.
General note"A solemn joviall disputation" is sometimes attributed to Richard Brathwait, but is in fact his translation, with additions, of the pseudonymous "Disputatio inauguralis theoretico-practica jus potandi breviter adumbrans" by Blasius Multibibus (pseudonym). "The smoaking age" is apparently Brathwait's alone.
General noteThe plates, signed by William Marshall, bear the titles "The lawes of drinking." and "The smoaking age or the life and death of tobacco."
General noteThe imprint is fictitious; in fact printed in London by E. Griffin. Cf. STC.
General noteThe "ph" in "Oenozphthopolis" is a Greek letter phi. The place name is probably a mistranscription of "Oenozytholpoli" in a Latin edition.
General noteRoman date in imprint contains apostrophic forms.
General noteNot in STC. A variant of 3585.
