8vo. pp. [iv], 31. Signatures: [A]2 B-E4. One of two copies in this collection, this one stitched as issued in paper wrappers, signed M. Culley on front endpaper. “M” and “Ashley 2682” penciled on title page. A spurious publication, repudiated as a forgery by Byron in a letter to Murray dated July 22, 1816. Cf. T.J. Wise, The Ashley Library. A Catalogue of Printed Books, Manuscripts and Autograph Letters. London, 1922, I, p. 155. The work is attributed to John Agg, the poet and satirical novelist (1783-1855). See S.C. Chew, Byron in England: his fame and after-fame. London, 1924, pp. 169–70. In his ‘Preliminary Advertisement’ of The Ocean Harp (Philadelphia, 1819, see Bib# 9736897 in this collection), John Agg not only fully confesses his authorship, but recounts (pp. vii-viii) – whether or not he is to be believed entirely – the circumstances of his involvement with the publishers he blames for the hoax, his alleged dismay at finding his own verse attributed to Byron, and at hearing of Byron’s contemptuous reaction. <a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_420468" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a>
