| Description | " ... A true story, just brought from Paris by a gentleman, who arrived in England only two days ago This story is founded on a dream of Bonaparte, which happened a week since, and has greatly agitated his mind, arising no doubt, from the inward workings of conscience. This dream he communicated to his faithful Mameluke, and some how or other it has transpired - perhaps by the secret intentions of providence, whose ways are inscrutable. The dream is here given in verse". This ballad concerns the proposed invasion of England by Bonaparte and his forces. First line reads: Ye Britons, to your country true. In two columns. 1d. each; 6d. per dozen; or, 3s. 6d. per 100. |
