The Birth, Life, Death, Wil,

THE

and Epitaph of Jack

Puffe Gentleman.

HE Birth, Life, Death, Wil, and Epitaph of Jack Puffe Gentleman. London, Printed for T. P. 1642, 4to, four leaves, with a woodcut of Jack Puffe on the title-page.

This satirical tract, which has been transcribed by the editor from a copy among the King's pamphlets in the British Museum, deserves attention on account of its peculiar character. Like The Treatyse of a Galaunt, it is an attempt to throw ridicule on the fops of the time. Jack Puffe is a type of what was by no means a small class during the reign of Charles I.
