[Southey, Robert.]

Mary, the maid of the inn

Preston: John Harkness, ca. 1850. Broadside (approx. 25 x 18.5 cm.); typographically decorative border, text in double column; appears to have been previously removed from a bound volume, mounted and laid down; very good and sound. Uncommon broadside of a 105-line poem (21 stanzas of 5 lines each) by Robert Southey. "675" printed at bottom of second column, described by the Bodleian Library Broadside Ballad collection catalogue as being the printer's series. The same catalogue approximates the date of publication as sometime between 1840 and 1866. OCLC locates one copy (though not that found at the Bodleian), at the National Library of Scotland. Item #45843
