Description
Excerpt from The Old Snuff House of Fribourg Treyer: At the Sign of the Rasp Crown No; 34 St. James''s Haymarket, London, S. W.; 1720, 1920
The only period for which apology is now needed is from the date of commencement, always considered to be 1720 to 1764. The earliest book in existence is dated r764 and contains reference to a previous book, but that is all there is now to go upon.
Matters learnt from hearsay which I think extravagant, I have left out entirely, at the cost, perhaps, of making the story less interesting.
Where facts and dates are stated without any doubts expressed, it may be taken that there is direct evidence to prove what is stated, and the Firm will only be too pleased at any time to show anyone interested the books from which these facts are obtained.
