Notes

  • Author's note: Printed and Sold for the benefit of the Patriotic Fund.
  • Preface. These rythms are not on martial subjects, and have nothing more to do with the war individually, than the lightest fancies which adorn the Bazaar-stalls of benevolent ladies. But as a paper is made from rags, it is hoped that the produce of these papers may be issued forth in lint to the wounded of the Crimea. Newnham, May 1855.
  • The selection comprises thirty-one original poems, eleven translations and a postscript.
  • Page 21 is incorrectly numbered as page 17.
