Excerpt from Elijah Fenton: His Poetry and Friends, A MonographI have indulged freely in quotations from Fenton's Poems for the reasons stated in the Life of F enton, having frequently been asked by persons living in the vicinity of the birthplace, and in my own Town of newcastle-under-lyme, where the works of Fenton were obtainable? No publication, I believe, of Fenton's works has taken place since 1822. His Poems, embellished with steel engravings, appeared in Cooke's elegant Pocket Edition of the original and complete works Of select British Poets, about 1795. As the Poems are only now to be met with on Old bookstalls, in second-hand book shops and at sales, I have, principally for the gratification of persons resident in this neighbourhood, indulged some what largely ih excerpts from Fenton's Works.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
