Book Description

Excerpt from The Poems of Robert Bloomfield, Vol. 2 of 3 What now forms the first part of this Volume, was published in 1802 under the title of 'Rural Tales, ' and the remainder in 1806 under the name of 'Wild Flowers.' Several pieces in the first collection, which the Public have sanctioned by a long and generous approbation, were written before the publication of the 'Farmer's Boy;' and consequently before I had friends to thank, or failures to dread. The original MSS. of these Poems are now in my possession, and I find therein, that seven years ago, I made memorandums which are now useful. Two or three of these detached sentences, as they are unvarnished truths, may afford amusement. - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
