First Edition. First edition. Provincially published work of poetry by a Chartist-affiliated publisher, when Fettes was 21 and a student at the University of Edinburgh, it was apparently his first work as the comparatively lengthy introduction (which spans 1/7th of the entire volume) notes it was "his first immature production." The ballad tells the tale of a knight of Richard the Lionheart who becomes enamored with Zuleika, the daughter of the Muslim emir who captured him, and as may be expected in a work of this sort, knight and daughter escape the emir and unite in Christianity. Also contains a lengthier poem entitled The Dream as well as thirteen shorter poems. Small 8vo. [i]-viii, [9]-36pp. Apparently unrecorded with no copies located on OCLC or Library Hub Discover as of March 2024. Disbound with light spotting and browning but otherwise very good.
