Bang the brocker, or Bully Pierce alias A---n the turncoat. : A new song..
Forbes, William,of Disblair.
[Edinburgh : s.n.,
1705].
Anonymous: attributed to William Forbes of Disblair; "the copy at E [NLS] has a nineteenth century ms. attribution to William Forbes. It is certainly related to his attacks on Pierce, alias Allan" (Foxon).
An anti-Union satire attacking the unidentified author 'Allan', modern catalogues give the name Allan Pierce, however Foxon speculates that his name might have been J. Pierce; he was an associate of Defoe and published two works in reply to Forbes' attacks.
With engraved plate of music and caricatures above text, entitled "Bang the brocker"; engraved by "Aiton".
