Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poetical Works, Vol. 1 The difficulty experienced by the Editor in understanding many of the allusions contained in the following poems, gave rise to the present work. In the attempt to obviate this difficulty, he was obliged to wade through some hundred volumes, mostly of a local or political nature, and consequently at this time, either very scarce, or quite neglected and forgotten: from these and other works in more general circulation, he principally extracted and compiled the notes he now offers to the public, for some of them however, consisting of original anecdotes, he is indebted to oral tradition, and to an intimate acquaintance with several of the friends and contemporaries of the poet. The highest praise to which a work of this kind can aspire, is that of diligence and impartiality; and if a most earnest endeavour to deserve that praise merits indulgence, the Editor lays claim to it as the only exculpatory plea he has to offer, for thus adding to the weight under which the shelves of our libraries already groan.
