Title: Extract from a New Farce, Lately come out, and Played with the greatest possible Success, among the Western Potwallers, called "Gaining a Footing."
Description: Wilton: H.B. Shillibeer, printer, c. 1820. Small 8vo. pp. 8> drop head title, unbound, old reinforcing tape to left hand margin. A satire on a forthcoming election at Taunton, Somerset. "...the next thing on the list, was to see Mr. Henry Blachford Shillibeer, privately to take the state of the Burrow." The piece ends "To be continued." Shillibeer was the author of several books about Taunton published about this time so it seems reasonable to ascribe this piece to him.
