The Phoenix of Sodom, by Robert Holloway 58613 [Subtitle: or the Vere Street Coterie] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/6/1/58613 ] [Files: 58613-0.txt; 58613-h.htm] For those wishing to know: this pamphlet, published 1813, came about because attorney Robert Holloway became aware of a legal trick pulled on James Cook, the owner of the Swan in Vere Street, London, which had been used as a gay brothel and was raided, with Cook and some prostitutes and clients arrested. Cook was sentenced to two years in prison for keeping a disorderly house, but was then legally robbed of his money and possessions, his wife was also beaten up. Holloway helped Cook and his wife, but also wrote up their story in this pamphlet, which gives lots of details of the history of the Vere Street brothel etc. John Church the preacher also knew James Cook and various of the pamphlets on Church contain his letters and relationship with Cook and Vere Street. The Swan was demolished around 1900 and Vere Street itself no longer exists (there's another street of the same name still in London). All the best, David, Overcast England
