The drunkard's looking-glass, reflecting a faithful likeness of the drunkard, in sundry very interesting attitudes; with lively representations of the many strange capers which he cuts at different stages of his disease; as first, when he has only "a drop in his eye," second, when he is "half shaved," third, when he is getting "a little on the staggers or so," and fourth and fifth, and so on, till he is "quite capsized," or, "snug under the table with the dogs," and can "stick to the floor without holding on."
