Trivia, or The Art of Walking the Streets of London

John Gay's Trivia is a satirical guide to walking the streets of London, written in mock heroic style. Learn how to avoid pickpockets, wig thieves, falling masonry and the contents of chamber pots, and above all else how to dress well for all weathers and avoid mud splatters. Your daily walk will never be the same again!
