Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of William Lisle Bowles, Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral, and Rector of Bremhill, Vol. 1: With Memoir, Critical Dissertation, and Explanatory Notes
A NM Edition of the following Poems having been called for by the public, the author is induced to say a few words, particularly concerning those which, under the name of Sonnets, describe his personal feelings.
They can be considered in no other light than as exhibiting occasional re?ections which naturally arose in his mind, chie?y during various excur sions, undertaken to relieve, at the time, depression of spirits. They were, therefore, in general, suggested by the scenes before them; and wherever such scene appeared to harmonise with his disposition at the moment, the senti ments was involuntarily prompted.
