Folio: 2. 10-5/8" x 6-3/4" <br/><br/>Gabler though not listing this item does briefly discuss & list divers tracts & pamphlets written in the early 1640s voicing public outrage over a contract between Charles I and the Vintner's Company of London- under said contract the Vintners agreed to pay a 46 shilling tax on every ton of Spanish & French wine & also agreed to annually buy a certain amount from English importers. In return the vintners were permitted to sell cooked victuals a proviso not in their original charter & allowed to recoup the tax by charging a penny a quart more that the officially published price. The ultimate effect was to give the Vintners' Company a monopoly on the wine trade all the while enriching the coffers of Charles I. Needless to say wine drinkers were livid. Parliament eventually responded in the consumers' favor. Gabler pp. 2-3.
