Found a fabulous book published in 1675 called The Governance of the Tongue. It's basically about trolls. Chapters include "Of Detraction," "Of Lying Defamation," and "Of Scoffing and Derision."

Correction: Government of the Tongue. The author's name doesn't appear in the book, but according to the Internet he was Richard Allestree (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Allestree …).

A near-contemporary of John Wallis. Most interesting.
