Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Book Collector's Miscellany, Vol. 3: Or, a Collection of Readable Reprints of Literary Rarities, Illustrative of the History, Literature, Manners, and Biography of the English Nation During the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries Now to the corrupted baseness of the first use of this Tobacco, doth very well agree the foolish and groundless first entry thereof into this kingdom. It is not so long since the first entry of this abuse amongst us here, as this present age cannot yet very well remember, both the first author, and the form of the first introduction of it amongst us. It was neither brought in by king, great conqueror, nor learned doctor of physic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
