Item #59829
See Quaritch Cat. 1008 (item no. 220) for the last title wherein they state that NCBEL & DNB erroneously refer to earlier printings (one 1796, the other 1796); an error arising from the fact that the poem was written around that time, just before the author set off for Jamaica. There are no known copies of such editions.
