CHYMISTRY, LARGE NOSES, PIGEON FEATHERS
THE BRITISH APOLLO
Printed for The Authors By J Mayo at the Printing Press, Against Water Lane in Fleet Street1710
THE BRITISH APOLLO 25 to 27.1.1710 Vol ii, Numb.93 London .This two page, four sided newspaper is in two columns per page. The paper is crisp and strong although foxed and toned . Weakness to the spine- about halfway separated . The paper is in the form of questions and satirical answers, two of note in this issue being from a young man studying CHYMISTRY -" now this is a very tedious Study and requires much time " and another from a man who wishes to know if his moderate drinking should have caused his large nose, or if he should see a physician about it. A third asks about the benefits on lying on a bed of pigeon feathers. Good knockabout stuff.
condition: Very Good
binding: Disbound
