About the author

Joseph Trevers

Known for a lively, sharply observed tract on commerce and corruption, this early modern writer offers a vivid glimpse into the anxieties of trade in his time. His surviving work has lasted largely because it captures everyday abuses and public frustration in direct, energetic prose.
