TitleManuscript poems and essays by Joseph Shepherd
Datelate 19th cent
DescriptionPoems entitled "Scipio Africanus the Roman General"; "Hannibal's Oath", "The Crusaders" (with explanatory note about those mentioned in the poem) and "Lord Byron and Greece".
Copy/translation: The Emperor Napoleon's Address to the Army (unsigned but in the same hand)
Essay: "A Vindication of the Rights of Women and Thoughts on their Position in Society" (4pp). The title alludes to the 1792 work, "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects" by Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797). This essay is clearly of much later date, referring to a number of women prominent in the second half of the 19th century, such as Florence Nightingale (1820-1910).
