Sinopsis

Excerpt from Poems and Essays: Including the Fallen Chief, the Minstrel's Curse, Kenilworth

In regard to the poems written in boyhood and early youth, I could say with Wordsworth on a similar occasion, that it would be easy to amend them now both as to sentiment and expression; but, in the case of early and juvenile poems, such emendations are always made at the risk of injuring those characteristic features which, after all, will be regarded as the principal recommendation of all juvenile poems.

Excerpt from Poems and Essays: Including the Fallen Chief, the Minstrel's Curse, Kenilworth

The following poems are a part of many which have been composed by the author, during his hours of leisure, while practicing an uncongenial and perplexing profession. Some of them were called forth by passing events of the times; while others are the mere offspring of his own fancy in hours of meditation. The longer ones are, with few exceptions, of comparatively recent composition; but to them are added a few which were composed in the early years of the author's life, - from his sixteenth year upward, - and which may therefore be termed "early " and "juvenile" poems. In selecting from his manuscripts those which were to be given to the public in this little volume, the author was not always moved by the belief that the ones selected were better, or possessed more merit, than others which might be given in their places.
