Holkham, A Poem: Dedicated, Without Permission, To Joseph Hume (1822) is a poem written by T. W. Hook. The poem is dedicated to Joseph Hume, a Scottish doctor and politician who was known for his advocacy of financial reform and reduction of government spending. The title of the poem refers to Holkham, a village in Norfolk, England, which was the site of a large estate owned by the Coke family. The poem is written in a satirical style and makes fun of the Coke family and their lavish lifestyle. It also criticizes Hume for his support of the Whig party and his perceived lack of action in pursuing financial reform. The poem is notable for its use of humor and satire to comment on contemporary political and social issues.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
