Joseph Sykes...?

[~Vulpine~]

I'm looking for poetry written by a Joseph Sykes, of Scotland, can anyone help? I'm looking for a relative. I think it was published. Thanks!

I'm sorry that I can't answer your question directly but it might help you to know that Joseph Sykes may have used the pseudonym 'Julio'.

A copy of every book published in the UK must, by law, be deposited with the British Library. Their catalogue lists 38 books by 'Joseph Sykes' but only one of those is poetry. It's 'Later Poems, by Julio', published in 1871:

Unfortunately, the Abebooks website (which lists 100 million books for sale) hasn't got a copy, so it's going to be extremely difficult to find.

Good luck with your hunting ;-)
