Book synopsis

Excerpt from Miscellaneous Poems The following story, ridiculous as it is, is a fact. A farmer at New Shoreham, near Brighthelmstone, having voted at an election for a member of Parliament, contrary to the pleasure of three neighbouring justices, they took revenge on his dog, which they caused to be hanged, for starting a hare upon the road. Three justices (so says my tale) Once met upon the public weal. For learning, law, and parts profound, Their fame was spread the county round; Each by his wondrous art could tell Of things as strange, as Sydrophel; Or by the help of sturdy ale, So cleverly could tell a tale, That half the gaping standers by Would laugh aloud: the rest would cry. Or by the help of nobler wine, Would knotty points so nice define, That in an instant right was wrong, Yet did not hold that station long, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
