This publication appears to have been printed by the Cumberland Times printers ca. 1900. 'A Tour to Hell' is a reprint of an item from the Cumberland Times, December 27, 1900 comprising the poem itself, prefaced by an editorial comment indicating that this was the first time the poem had ever been published. A second note at the end of the poem discusses the provenance of this version of the poem. The manuscript was lent to the editor of the Cumberland Times, J. Whitley, in 1857 and contained the text posthumously copied by a Mr Thomas Holdstock from the dictation of an assigned servant who had worked with the author and memorised the poem. This note is dated April, 1885.
