2pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, on aged and lightly-worn paper. The recto of the first leaf is headed by a 6.5 x 8 cm engraving of the Red Lion Inn. Beneath this is an advertisement in the form of a letter from 'NATHANIEL WEGG' to 'Sir, or Madam', addressed from 'RED LION, EAST STREET, GREENWICH. | July, 1841.' He states that he has 'repurchased the business lately carried on by Mr. GOSLING', and recommends his 'STOCK OF WINES, which was laid in by me at my commencement in business in December 1838, and which for selection and flavour may safely defy competition'. He continues by talking up 'the remainder of my Stock, consisting of BRITISH AND FOREIGN SPIRITS, GENUINE MALT LIQUORS, &c.' The recto of the second leaf carries, in double column, an attractive price list of 'Wines', 'Spirits' and 'Choice Old Spirits in sealed Bottles' (including, at £1 3s 0d a dozen, and 2s a bottle, 'Wegg's celebrated Rock Gin'). At the end of the list: 'Bottled Ales, Stout, Cyder, and Perry, in the highest pefection. | THE TRADE SUPPLIED ON THE MOST LIBERAL TERMS. | Goods sent within five miles free of expence. | N. B. Casks, Bottles, and Hampers to be paid for on delivery; the money will be returned when they are sent back.' Printers slug at foot of page.
