Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Greenwich: A Poem, Descriptive and Historical
Author, when he re?ects on the distinguished honour conferred on him by the amiable condescension of Her Royal Highness the princess or wales, in graciously permitting her name to appear in his subscription. And he begs to return his Sincere acknowledgements to the noble and eminent persons, andito the ladies and gentlemen, who have kindly given their support with so much spirit and liberality. He desires to apologize for the delay of the work, which he assures them, very truly, proceeded from causes which could neither be foreseen nor prevented..
He must mention to the reader, that several expressions in the Poem, taken from Pope, and from other poets, he has carefully marked by inverted commas, to denote his Obligation but as it is possible that some may have passed unmarked, he hopes they will not be imputed to plagiarism.
