The Bankrupt, by James Parkerson 32275 [Subtitle: or Advice to the Insolvent. A Poem, addressed to a friend, with other pieces] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/3/2/2/7/32275 ] [Files: 32275.txt; 32275-0.txt; 32275-h.htm] 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, David, England, getting cold and rainy
