Notes
A series of verse epistles attributed to various authors, including Miss Biddy Fudge. They are partly a satire on the English who swarmed over to Paris after the defeat of Napoleon. At the end there are some occasional pieces, including some lines on the death of some lightly disguised figures who are former prime minister, Perceval and the playwright, Sheridan. Thomas Moore (1779-1852) was an Irish author, poet and orientalist who also wrote an impressive History of Ireland (1835-46) from a nationalist point of view. These verses proved very popular and there were at least nine editions in 1818, the year of first publication.
