The battle of Toulouse : A new poem /
McGonagall, William.
[Edinburgh : s.n.,
1902?]
In two columns with a coat of arms above the title.
In verse.
'Composed, 1902'.
At the top of the sheet in McGonagall's hand - 'Sir Wm. Topaz McGonagall. Poet'.
First lines read: Twas in the year of 1814, and on April the 10th day, / That Wellington with the British Army came in grand array, / Prepared to attack the city of Toulouse without dismay, / And his heavy guns he planted there without delay.
