Poetical Recreation Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Poetical Recreation These "Poetical Recreations," as, for the want of a better title, the author has chosen to style them, are the result of leisure moments in the midst of other and more important avocations. They are a selection of what have appeared, as they were composed, in one or other of our local periodicals, wherein it was expected their ephemeral existence would have terminated. And now it is only in consequence of the continued solicitation of many friends that in their present shape and under the same nom de plume they are again put into type.
