Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems Many of the admirers of Mr. Cowper´s writings having expressed a desire of possessing an edition of his Poems which should contain his devotional pieces with the rest - This volume has been supplied with two Appendixes. The first includes his Translations from the works of Madame Guion, which he presented in manuscript to the Rev. William Bull, who printed them separately in a small volume; and it is with his permission that they are here inserted. The second consists of Poems which were written during his residence in the parish of the Rev. John Newton, with whom he joined in composing a volume for social worship and private use, which was published in 1779, under the title of "Olney Hymns." This quarto edition of the Poems, with the letters and poetical pieces published in Mr. Hayley´s Life of Cowper (to which this volume will form a very proper companion) will comprise all the works of the author except his Version of Homer, printed in two volumes quarto and four volumes octavo, and his Translations from Milton´s Latin and Italian Poems, with parts of a Commentary on the Paradise Lost, now preparing for the press by his Biographer. The last will be published for the benefit of an Orphan, the Godson of Mr, Cowper, in one volume quarto, price two guineas. Subscriptions for the Milton will be received by J. Johnson, in St. Paul´s Church Yard, and R. H. Evans, Pall Mall. John Sargent, Esq. M. P. and Samuel Smith, Esq. M. P. have kindly undertaken to act as Trustees on the occasion for this interesting Orphan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
