First Edition. Octavo lettersheet (ca 8" x 5"); bifolium; printed in blue and red on white coated stock on top page only. Fine. A patriotic song in thirteen stanzas, celebrating Sheridan's victory over Jubal Early's Confederate troops at Cedar Creek, in the northern Shenandoah Valley, in late 1864. This was one of the decisive battles of the War, and it is described colorfully here. Though no music is included, the chorus, repeated with variations throughout the song - "Get out of the way, says Phil to Early / You've come too late to get the Valley," etc - suggests it was meant to be sung to the popular minstrel tune "Ole Dan Tucker.". …

First Edition. First edition, 8vo, pp. 16; stitched, as issued; uncut; a fine copy. A poem celebrating the fall of James II, "originally intended for recital at a festive meeting of the principal inhabitants of Derry, who assembled on the 7th of December 1788, for the purpose of commemorating the heroism displayed in the preceding century, in support of freedom, by their illustrious ancestors." Because Glass only began writing the poem a few days before the event, and "as it has been committed to the press in the first rough draft," it was Glass's intention that the poem should be revised and published "upon a more extended scale." However, this seems not to have come to pass. James Glass, (fl. 1789-97) was a radical poet and friend and disciple of the Ulster radical poet Samuel Thomson (1766-1816). Glass's poem fell within a recognizable vein of radicalism that "challenged the right of the aristocracy to land ownership in the face of a disenfranchised laboring class who worked the land and produced wealth for others."
