Sobre este artículo
London. [Printed by Crocker, Printer, Frome] Cadell, . Tall 8vo, 224 x 140 mms., pp. [viii] [7] 220 [221 advert, 222 blank], including half-title, engraved frontispiece, 2 other full-page engraved plates at pages 110 and 151, with tissue guards, original boards, uncut, paper label on spine, front joint cracked and tender, rear joint slightly cracked, spine slightly defective with missing paper and boards, and boards worn. The British Critic, and Quarterly Theological Review reviewed the first edition of 1808 appreciatively in 1810: "Bidcome Hill, whence this elegantly printed volume takes its name, is situated at the western extremity of Salisbury Plain.... Mr. Skurray has endeavoured in his principal poem to excite and interest all such feelings [of location and incidents]. The language is unequal, but often pleasing; the sentiments pure; with a strong tincture of the truest piety, and most ardent benevolence pervading the whole."
