Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems of Thomas Hood, Vol. 2: Poems of Wit and Humour
I have not thought it necessary to arrange the poems in this volume in strict chronological order, except so far that Hood's share in the Odes and Addresses (the remaining share being due to his brother - in-law, J. Hamilton Reynolds) comes first in the volume, and that the two or three concluding poems are among the last he wrote. For the rest, I have rather arranged them with a view to exhibiting the variety and contrasts of Hood's humorous invention.
