Margins cropped close to 121/8 ? 8?". Sold together with two satirical seventeenth-century letterpress broadsides regarding Raree Shows, the first advertising ?A Strange Monster,? with a lengthy description of the sideshow-like exhibition of an animal that ?looks as fierce as a tiger, but has scarce the courage of a mouse.? [London]: R. Janeway, 1689. 12? ? 7"; the other for a ?Rary-Show lately brought from the flaming isle of Moderation, all Alive.? [London?], ca. 1710. 14? ? 8?" with margins unevenly trimmed.
