For those wishing to know: James Parkerson was a minor local poet in 
Norfolk in the early 1800's.  This is one of a number of his pamphlets, 
all of which are very rare, only a few copies surviving.  George Borrow in 
his semi-autobiographical book "Lavengro" describes meeting Parkerson when 
Borrow was a young apprentice in Norwich.  It's through Borrow that 
Parkerson is known.

All the best,
