Miss Kilmansegg and her precious leg. A golden legend tennis "With the Printer's belatedLondon: E. Moxon, 1870. Hood's long, satirical poem criticises excessive consumption and the thirst for wealth with a moralising tale of a young woman, who after losing her leg in an accident replaces it with a prosthetic limb made of gold. Though her suitors increase, she is repaid for her greed when a penniless count marries her for her money and then kills her with her own "precious leg". First Edition. 8vo. pp [iv], [150]; with 60 line drawn
