Daniel Isaac Eaton was tried seven times for sedition or libelous works, most notably for publishing Thomas Paine’s works and Thomas Spence’s ‘Hog’s Meat & c.”. His business on Newgate street he called, “The Cock and Swine”, which can be seen described pictorially on the reverse. He was a prominent member of the London Corresponding Society.
