The fourth item is one of several pirated editions of a work written by the young radical Southey in 1794. By the time it was published by Sherwood in 1817 (in some editions printing the author's name) Southey had become a staunch Tory and Poet Laureate, thereby causing him embarrassment at which his enemies delighted.
