For those wishing to know: James Parkerson was a minor local poet in 
Norfolk in the early 1800's.  This is his largest pamphlet, which is 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,
