Title
Robert and Richard; or, The Ghost of Poor Molly, Who Was Drowned in Richard's Mill Pond : To the Tune of Collins's Mulberry Tree.
Description
The Cheap Repository Tracts were a series of inexpensive religious, moral, and political publications—including tracts, ballads, and chapbooks—created by the writer and educator Hannah More. Aimed at the literate poor, they were produced in response to the radical and revolutionary literature circulating in England after the French Revolution, as well as to the rise of “immoral and vulgar” popular fiction. Robert and Richard is a cautionary ballad that warns of the dangers of sin.
