Satires on Queen Caroline, [ca. 1820?].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702178192

Manuscript, in a single hand, of a collection of ten epistles in rhyming verse, of which six are satirically ascribed to Queen Caroline; the other four epistles are about her. The epistles mock her chastity, her alleged affair with Bartolomeo Pergami, and her close relationship with her advisor Sir Matthew Wood, who is the purported author of one of the epistles. Many of the other references are to Queen Caroline's divorce trial in 1820, including one epistle allegedly from Thomas Denman to Henry Brougham. Occasional footnotes appear in the margins explicating the references.

1 v. (20 p.) ; 32 x 21 cm.
