[Handbill] The Chapter of Generals

One page, c.11 x 23cm, fold marks, irregularly trimmed with loss of most of imprint, heavy staining, but text clear and complete. Verses, 2 sections, 30ll, focussing on the "General Confederacy " against "General Boney" (c.1812?), using the word "General" in as many contexts as possible (always in italic), commencing, Some Generals lately, have caused much Sport, | The first was, a favorite General Report [...] | A general Confederacy, is now all the rage [...] | Little Boney to stop, in his General Sway [...] | May Generel [sic] Distress, be banished far hence, | And General Happiness, then will commence." The spelling mistake ("Generel") and some double striking indicate the quality of the printer who does noy feature in BBTI, has only one other piece recorded by COPAC. This one is unrecorded.
