Poems by Charles Hetherington |
Why would VBD&S print this? The name Hetherington rang a bell. Henry Hetherington was a radical printer in the first half of the nineteenth century, a contemporary of Vincent's father John Brooks.
Maybe Vincent was doing his son a favour? Well, as it turns out Charles father was called Joel, so no connection there. Charles (B.1811), at the time of this book, lived in Hampton, Kingston and had been an invalid for twenty years.
