Synopsis

Excerpt from The Village Muse: Containing the Complete Poetical Works of Elijah Ridings

The usual mode of printing poetry, is to spin out to a volume what might be compressed in a few pages, so that the purchaser might as well go to the paper-maker at once, and order a certain quantity of his ware, for the book binder. Half blank (in some instances three-fourths) and half letter-press, are the usual features of contemporary publications in verse. I have often amused myself by counting the lines, i. E. The length of many a shallow stream, meandering through an extensive meadow of margin.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This edition, professing to be the complete poetical works of the author, may contain many pieces, which, but for circumstances not neccessary to be explained, would never have been revived. The public, or the reading and enquiring portion of it, manifest an interest, however, in the complete collection of fugitive essays ;and, it must be confessed, that the field of literature has been occasionally cultivated and enriched by the labours of the indefatigable collector, who invariably seeks to conserve, rather than destroy productions, which have been the fruit of much mental toil, or have been thrown off, into the current of the passing time, in some easy birth, as the tree yields its ripest fruitage without dilaceration of any of its roots and branches. Should this volume meet the critical attention of some liberal and enlightened scholar, the author would feel himself obliged and honoured. Such an one, poring over the effusions of a self-taught Lancashire weaver, might understand, that, a love of reading and study, continuously carried forward, for a long series of years, may have forced upon the author a mode of abstract thought, occasionally, and a form of expression, too often imperfect, perhaps the result of severe thinking, and a species of bibliomania, not easily controlled, nor possibly regulated within the bounds of the practical and the worldly. The poems, if they deserve this respectable name, have been written at all hours of the twenty-four morning, noon, evening, and in the dead of the night.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
