About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1856. Not illustrated.

"I have made candles of Infant's fat." This kind of cadence is repeatedly used in the "Old Woman" and in the "Parody." The " Grandmother's Tale " I will not defend against you. It is a mere matter of taste. I have seen it produce much pleasure, and it has been noticed to me among the most pleasing poems in the volume. Certainly it is of that class of poems sermoni propiora--which you may without impropriety construe very proper for a sermon. Yet I think, if you look at the only part that admitted of strong writing, the lines from "But God, whose eye beholdeth all things," &c., to the end of the speech, you will find them strong and impressive. However, the difference in taste in men of equal talents and education you must be aware of almost as much as myself. The " Maid of the Inn " you selected for censure, and in my own mind...
