Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Specimens of the Early English Poets, Vol. 1 of 3: To Which Is Prefixed, an Historical Sketch of the Rise and Progress of the English Poetry and Language The first edition of this Miscellany, which appeared in 1790, was intended as an attempt "to comprise, within the compass of one volume, all the most beautiful small poems that had been published in this country during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries;" but it was, at the same time, admitted, that "the completion of the publishers plan had been prevented by the difficulty of procuring a sufficient stock of materials." This difficulty has been since removed by the kind assistance of my friends; and the work, in its present state, contains a selection, made with some care and attention, from a considerable number of the best poetical libraries in this country.
