TRUE CHRISTMAS JOY: A New Poem, on the Birth of Our Saviour.

Later edition. Original printed wrappers with a woodcut depicting the nativity to the upper cover (signed 'Lee' in the cut). 8pp. A very good copy, the binding a little delicate but secure and with traces of having previously been bound within a larger volume to the spine. The contents with a touch of toning are otherwise clean throughout and remain free from any previous owners' inscriptions or stamps.

A poetic celebration of the nativity by an unnamed eighteenth-century author, embellished with a charming, naive woodcut. The work first appeared under a slightly different title c.1750 (ESTC N65956), although only early nineteenth-century copies, such as the present example, are recorded in British institutions.
