Parodies of contemporary poets including Byron, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey, Scott, and Crabbe; apparently Campbell complained of not being included
This copy has an interesting provenance, with the ownership signature of the Shropshire poet and ornithologist, John Freeman Milward Dovaston, (1782-1854). "It is rather for his pioneer experiments in ornithology and his friendship with Thomas Bewick that Dovaston is principally notable ... his library of over 3000 volumes was dispersed by auction in 1910." - DNB.
