I was trying to find an article on medieval credit. This is what I found instead:

huge screen-long title of article, beginning 'Suffolk, and Norfolk, Navigable Canal from London to Norwich and Lynn. By subscription, ready for the press, and speedily will be published, Price Five Shillings, half bound, dedicated, by permission, to Thomas Bernay Brampton and Astley and Sir John Wodehouse, Barts. Representatives for Norfolk: a treatise addressed to the Nobility, Gentry, Land owners, Merchants, Traders, Farmers, and Manufacturers, of the Cities and Towns in these Counties, and also the City of London........

I didn't even realize that was the title! Though, in retrospect, I ought to have; I've seen that sort of thing before. Like lead-based makeup and leeches for "hysteria" (yes, yes, maybe I'm mixing up eras/millienia — sue me!), "it was the style at the time".

But still, that's a remarkable example of the form (if only because you and i are remarking upon it).
