Notes
"Not published."
According to Lee (cited below), this edition was "privately printed for John Wilson [bookseller], of Great Russell Street, with a frontispiece by George Cruikshank, illustrating the poem, 'My Mistress's Boots.'" However, it seems that the books published with the Cruikshank illustration only appeared in the copies of this edition titled Poems by Frederick Locker; copies of this edition titled London Lyrics do not include the Cruikshank illustration (Cf. Dobson, cited below).
Richard Doyle, to whom this copy is inscribed, illustrated the abridged 1865 "Miniature Poets" edition of London Lyrics published by Edward Moxon & Co.
