Chicago: Published by Wm. Mida, 1884. 93pp. plus 26 interleaved pages numbered in roman. Small octavo (19.5 x 13.5 cm). Printed brick- brown wrappers. Illustrations, tables and adverts (one folding). Large colored folding map. Text block uniformly browned. wrappers detached and chipped in the spine area; a delicate, yet remarkable survival. The map, apart from a couple of short breaks at the edges of a couple of folds, is fine. "Second and Enlarged Edition" of this highly significant reference. The large color folding map is a "Map of Kentucky Showing the Several Internal Revenue Collection Districts," dated 1884. It bears Mida's imprint as a "Commission Merchant, Importer's & Distiller[']s Agent." Mida emigrated to the US in 1867 from his native Poland after a career that included gun running and revolutionary acts against the Russians in Poland. In 1873 he established himself as a liquor distributor in Chicago. He foresaw the need for trade publications for the liquor trade, particularly in regard to trade-marks. He published his first Hand-Book in 1883, published a periodical, MIDA's CRITERIA, established an imprint for future publications (Criterion) and published a sequence of volumes illustrating and recording the trademarks of hundreds of distilleries and vineyards. Mida died in 1915, and his enterprises continued until the advent of prohibition under the control of his son, Lee Mida. His publications all tend to scarcity, if not rarity, in institutional collections. OCLC returns no locations for the 1883 first edition of Mida's HAND-BOOK, and only one location for this edition, at UC Davis.

Description:
1723 Drunken Barnaby's Four Journeys Brathwait English Satire Alcohol Wine BeerRichard Brathwait was a 17th-century English poet who is best known for his travel records of his journeys through England entitled 'Barnabae Itinerarium'. More commonly known as 'Drunken Barnaby's Four Journeys', this book is a satirical, humorous work which made light of drunkenness, persuading the reader that it was "the very fountain from which all wit flowed." (Critical Review, 1805).
This 1723 edition was notable, not only for its full-page engravings, but for the inclusion of additional English notes and prefatory material, not in the previous two editions. Like other versions, this work features both English and Latin translations in verse, which contain descriptions of English towns and a vast knowledge of Latin classical works.

This two-volume sixth edition is filled with 34 fascinating full-page and folding plates as well as 30 in-text woodcut engravings. The 5th-10th editions of 'Maison Rustique' were edited by Henri Besnier.
