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,
