Publisher's Synopsis
""Odes to Ins and Outs and a Poetical Epistle to Benjamin Count Rumford"" is a collection of satirical poems written by the pseudonymous author, Peter Pindar, in 1801. The book is divided into two parts: the first part consists of a series of odes that mock various public figures and institutions of the time, including politicians, artists, and the legal system. The second part is a longer poem addressed to Benjamin Count Rumford, a scientist and inventor, in which Pindar praises Rumford's work and accomplishments while also poking fun at his eccentricities. Throughout the book, Pindar uses humor and irony to comment on the social and political issues of his time, including corruption, hypocrisy, and the abuse of power. The poems are written in a lively and often irreverent style, with frequent use of puns, wordplay, and exaggerated metaphors. Overall, ""Odes to Ins and Outs and a Poetical Epistle to Benjamin Count Rumford"" is a witty and entertaining example of satirical poetry from the early 19th century, offering a unique insight into the cultural and political climate of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
