Early 19th-century provincial imprints of this nature are inherently scarce, particularly those surviving in original state rather than later rebinding. Copies are seldom encountered on the market, especially in complete condition as here. A desirable example for collectors of early English poetry and antiquarian works in original boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1514\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1189\"\u003eInvasion\u003c\/em\u003e is a satirical poem reflecting early 19th-century anxieties and attitudes, using verse to comment on contemporary events and society.
