A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

There is, perhaps, no observation more common, as there is no sentiment more natural, than that almost every one is desirous of knowing something of a person whose wdrks have, in any considerable degree, excited his interest, or contributed to his amusement. This is particularly the case with the admirers of poetry, and the different imitative arts. The minds of such persons are habitually occupied in embodying the forms which their favorite studies have suggested to their fancy, and in combining their ideas into substance and personality. Of every person who occupies much of their attention, they are always eager to acquire some decisive and settled notions, on which their imagination may rest., For the sake of persons of this description, in whose minds the Author of the following Poems, by his character, or his works, may have acquired an interest I have thought it adviseable to prefix to this volume some particulars respecting himself, and those few of his productions which have survived him. Such information will be acceptable to those, whose feelings may have contributed to raise their curiosity on his account; and it is necessary to the public at large, to whose attention this volume might otherwise appear to have very insufficient claims. The best apology, I am sensible, that can be made for some of the pieces in the following collection, is to relate the circumstances under which they were written, and under which they are published. .
