Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Orion: An Epic Poem, in Three Books, Vol. 1 of 3
On the first appearance of this poem, two young poets, who have since become eminent in various ways (edmund Ollier and George Meredith), wrote to me their several views of the design and character of Orion, each of which was far better said than the above, and in less than half the space. I am ashamed to say that I cannot recollect their words, or they would have stood in the place of mine.
