Page:Ballads·of·Bung•E·Iveagh·Lord•1921.pdf/2



The success which attended the first edition of the Ballads of Bung was not anticipated, and as only a limited number of copies were printed the demand was greater than the supply. Now, at the request of numerous friends I issue this revised edition, which includes several new verses of which is the “star” item.

I might add in passing that this particular effort (I nearly wrote poem) should be valuable to Judges, Magistrates, Solicitors, Parsons, Doctors, Reporters, Wowsers and the professions generally, and could be made the nucleus of a dictionary and be accepted as an authority on the subject to which it applies.

E. IVEAGH LORD.
