8vo, 16 pp. Unbound. Evidence of previous stitching, but with no remains of thread, Aged, worn, and with outer leaves somewhat dusty. Preface, dated 'London, June 1864', by 'THE MANUFACTURERS OF THOMSON'S CRINOLINES', states that the judges of the best of 'the immense number of manuscripts received' were 'B. Webster, Esq., J. St…erling Coyne, Esq., Andrew Halliday, Esq., George Rose, Esq., and Thos. Sturtt Stuerte, Esq.' As revealed in the Bookman's Journal for 1923, the scheme was, in fact, an advertising stunt for Thomson's Crinolines, the three 'poets' ('William Fulford', 'Peter Quince, Carpenter' and 'A true son of Erin's Isle') being fictions. Uncommon: copies on COPAC at the British Library, Oxford, Cambridge, the National Libraries of Scotland and Wales, Birmingham, and Chetham's Library. Also the Folger.
