To the 'lectors of Lambeth.
[London? : s.n.,
1847?]
Dated from internal evidence - probably concerned with the 1847 electoral campaign in which Hawes (mentioned in the text of the ballad) paid the price for taking junior office in a ministry whose policy he could not determine by being defeated at Lambeth after a raucous campaign - information from 'British parliamentary election results. 1832-1885', compiled and edited by F.W.S. Craig, Dartmouth, Parliamentary Research Services, 1989 and 'Oxford Dictionary of National Biography' online.
First line reads: Gentlemen! I now declares, myself a Can-di-date.
