London, printed for H. Woodfall, and C. Henderson, 1757.
Hanway regarded tea as dangerous to the health, leading to scurvy, insomnia, dental deterioration, and gastrointestinal disorders. For this he was criticised by Samuel Johnson, a keen tea drinker, in the Literary Magazine and The Idler, where Hanway appeared as 'Dick Wormwood', a man whose sole delight is to find everything wrong.
Second edition, 2 vols; 8vo; 2 folding engraved frontispieces, contemporary calf gilt, red morocco labels, light wear to extremities, a very good example.
