Book Description

Excerpt from Petronilla: And Other Poems The first edition of this book, published in 1858, was out of print in 1862. For a volume of verses, the edition was not small. Since the latter period its author has been very frequently asked to reprint it. He does so now, with a few corrections and certain additions, including his Oxford Prize Poem; thanking friends both known and unknown, as well as several public critics, for their generous kindness and valued suggestions.
