A43641	The Trimmer, his friendly debate with the Observator concerning uniformity rendition of charters, the House of Commons, not a house of courtiers, and twenty things more, not worth the rehearsal in a title page, though it be common policy of some authors or booksellers to wheedle men in to th' exchange of money for books, by putting more in the title-page, then you shall find in the book, and (like the Observator) more in the contents then in the chapter.	Hickeringill, Edmund, 1631-1708.	1683 (1683)	Wing H1830A; ESTC R10851	22,860	20
