The Convict's Farewell, by James Parkerson 33533 [Subtitle: with Advice to Criminals, before and after Trial] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/3/3/5/3/33533 ] [Files: 33533.txt; 33533-0.txt; 33533-h.htm] For those wishing to know: another very rare (fire-damaged and worm-eaten) poetical pamphlet by James Parkerson of Norwich, published in the early 1800's. Parkerson earned the little money he got by printing and selling his poetical productions such as this one - only 8 pages in total. This particular pair of poems was clearly quite successful as Parkerson often reprinted them in other pamphlets. All the best, David, Rainy England
