"_Black Gowns and Red Coats._"--Can any of your readers give me any

information about a poem called "Black Gowns and Red Coats?" It is a

satire on Oxford, which was published in 1834, at the time of the Duke

of Wellington's installation as Chancellor; but the satire was so

severe, that it was at once suppressed. The author is said to be dead; I

should like to know something of the circumstances of its publication,

for I had once seen it, and it bore the marks of very great genius. If

any one has a copy to dispose of, I would gladly buy it.
