The Cries of London; exhibiting several of the itinerant traders of antient and modern times. London 1839 , Posthumous Edition (John Thomas Smith)

“Now as the Cries of London are sometimes the topic of conversation, the author of the present work is not without the hope of finding, amongst the more aged as well as juvenile readers, many to whom it may prove acceptable, inasmuch as it not only exhibits several Itinerant Traders and other persons of various callings of the present day, but some of those of former times, collected from engravings executed in the reigns of James I. Charles I.and during the Usurpation of Oliver Cromwell, and which, on account of their extreme rarity, are seldom to be seen but in the most curious and expensive Collections.” (John Thomas Smith,Introduction)
