About this Item
8pp. Small cheaply printed chapbook (16 x 10 cm), untrimmed and partially unopened, extracted from nonce pamphlet volume. A bit ragged at edges, edges dust-tanned, but otherwise near very good. One of several later printings of these poems by the poet / ornithologist, first published in 1796, where it is noted "As delivered in the Pantheon, Edinburgh. (Recited in the character of a poor peddler) by the author of Watty and Meg." Wilson had departed for Philadelphia in 1794 and although he didn't abandon his poetic muse, his fame was established with AMERICAN ORNITHOLOGY; OR, THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE BIRDS OF THE UNITED STATES. Accompanied by a disbound copy of the PAISLEY REPOSITORY (VIII), ca. 1810, printing a "List of Pieces written by Mr. Alexande Wilson, now in Philadelphia, which is accompanied by his description, partially in verse, of "The American Blue Bird.".
