Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Summer and Winter Hours
This volume has been entitled Summer and Winter Hours, because its contents are, in truth, the fruits of such hours, snatched at intervals from literary pursuits of a graver and more continuous, though not more congenial kind. The author was desirous of publishing a selection' of his fugitive pieces, more as an intimation of his poetical existence than as any attempt to prove himself entitled to the highest honours of the Muse. If be live, he Will put his capabilities as a poet to a more ambitious.
