Prophecy! Or | Bonaparte killed at last by his own troops

... A true story | just brought from Paris by a gentleman | who arrived in England only two days ago This story is founded on a dream of Bonaparte | which happened a week since | and has greatly agitated his mind | arising no doubt | from the inward workings of conscience. This dream he communicated to his faithful Mameluke | and some how or other it has transpired - perhaps by the secret intentions of providence | whose ways are inscrutable. The dream is here given in verse. This ballad concerns the proposed invasion of England by Bonaparte and his forces. First line reads: Ye Britons | to your country true. In two columns. 1d. each; 6d. per dozen; or | 3s. 6d. per 100.
