THE
LONDON SPY.
THE many shocking crimes committed in and about London as well as frauds and cheats daily practised on the unwary trade man, mechanic and deluded countrymen, call aloud for detection and discovery.—Much has already been writen from time to time on this subject, and, in many instances with good effect: but, as too much praise cannot be bestowed on Virtue, so neither can too much be written in pourtraying Vice in its proper deformity, in order to give mankind a detestation thereto: therefore a timely warning against that variety of iniquity and roguery, which at present is carried on by the wicked and abandoned, to the injury and frequent ruin of the unhappy as well as unthinking part of the world who have the misfortune to fall into their hands, become still necessary.
