Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Patriotism in Three Cantos; And Other Poems
Following the above, appeared Hours in the Bowers, by the persecuted and veteran poet and annalist, Samuel Bamford, a many poems of which are probably unequalled by any modern writer for original conception and fresh vigorous sentiment. His volume of miscellaneous compositions manifest also a strong and laudable tone of sympathy for the prostrate poor, exhibited in language not extreme, but with a moderate and salutary feeling of patriotic truth.
Subsequently, Rhyme, Romance and Revery, and A Voice from the Town, by the talented John Bolton Rogerson, have succeeded, with felicitous and universally admired pieces in prose and verse, the former abounding with rare ideal fancy - the romance of chivalry, &c. Certainly, in invention, very fertile, novel, and imaginative, and deserve to occupy a place in the first line for compositions of this class the latter displays an exquisite and tender feeling - sweetly and touchingly sensitive of domestic affection.
