About This Item
Manchester, Printed for the Author, by G. Nicholson & co...., 1794. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 8vo, 203 x 127 mms., pp. [11] 12 - 102, including title-page and dedication leaf printed twice, disbound; portion cut from top margin of first title-page to remove name. An Independent minister, David Bradberry (17351803) spent most of his career in Ramsgate and Manchester; he wrote very little, of which this poem is the best-known work. It was noticed briefly in volume 6 of The British Critic: A New Review: "The first thing which will strike the reader of this extraordinary performance, will be its whimsical dedication, which, but for its length, we would transcribe. It is formally address to the sovereign of the universe. Nor will anyone be less surprised with the singular structure of the verse...." The verse reminds one of Christopher Smart's poems.
