JOHN BURNBY] The Kentish Cricketers. A poem ... being a reply to a late publication of a parody of the ballad of Chevy Chace intituled, Surry Triumphant: or, The Kentish Men's Defeat Canterbury: T. Smith and Son, and W. Flackton, and London: B. Law, Richardson and Urquhart, 1773. 4to. (10¼ x 8in; 263 x 205mm) (half-title and verso of final leaf soiled, E1 and F1 with tear at upper blank margin, upper corner of final leaf clipped), full brown morocco for Eagar, flat spine titled in gilt. FIRST EDITION. This spirited reply to Duncombe's Surry Triumphant again employs the metre of "Chevy Chace", and describes both the match at Bishopsbourne Paddock, which "Surry did the victory gain By Lumpey, Fortune, Art and Rain", and Kent's victory in the return match at the Vine. The introductory stanzas contrast the vices of the town with the rural innocence of cricket, and the poem is a celebration of the game rather than a violently partisan piece. EXTREMELY RARE. There is one copy in the MCC library; Goldman's copy was ex-MCC and lacked the title but nevertheless sold to Epworth for £21; a third copy was included in the recent Leslie Gutteridge sale. The on-line English Short Title Catalogue locates copies only at BL (2), National Library of Scotland and St. Andrews University. Allen 5; Goldman p. 116; Taylor p. 60; Padwick 2061.
