great importance to scholars of all areas of social and cultural
history of the early modern period. The vast majority of this

public and details of court cases in early modern France. Vol 2
& 3 - Holy Roman Empire chronicles, civic ordinances, court
records, travel reports and surveys of public houses. Vol 4 -
America's public houses - pictures, journal entries, business
reports and newspaper articles. Vol 5 - early modern England legal
documents. Each volume has introductions and comprehensive
annotation.
