Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rise, Progress, and Termination of the O. P. War, in Poetic Epistles, or Hudibrastic Letters, From Ap Simpkins in Town, to His Friend Ap Davies in Wales: Including All the Best Songs, Placards, Toasts, &C., &C., Which Were Written, Exhibited, and Given on the Occasion; With Illustrative Notes
Rise, progress, and termination of this war are certainly excellent subjects for the comic muse. If the execution of the work be found deficient, the author's apologies are, that it is a' first attempt, and that he delayed awhile in order to see if a more able poet would undertake the task; but finding it passed over, he therefore, with all due submis'sion and respect, offers the public this humble and hasty composition. Though haste cannot be justly admitted as an apo logy for a poetical work, yet in the present instance it may have some claim to indulgence, seeing that fur ther delay would have rendered his theme stale and unacceptable.
