King James 1 of England

A Counter-Blaste to Tobacco

PA: The Rodale Press, 1954.

First printing.


An anonymous pamphlet on 'the vile custome' of smoking appeared in 1604, now attributed to the outspoken King James.


He called it: 'loathsome to the Eye, hateful to the Nose, harmful to the Brain, dangerous to the Lungs'; he had a point.


Hardcover, with one corner cut to first end page.
