Poetical Works, by James Parkerson 32276 [Subtitle: comprising Elegies, Sketches from Life, Pathetic, and Extempore Pieces] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/3/2/2/7/32276 ] [Files: 32276.txt; 32276-0.txt; 32276-h.htm] 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, David, Cold England
