Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Village Grammar-School: And Other Poems
When in the following Epistle, I exhibit my mind recurring with delight to those' earlier years of my boy hood, which were passed at Ovz'ngham, a secluded village grammar school in the county of N orthumberland, I wish it'to be remembered, that I am speaking of a remote village school, where the restrictions are less distressing than they necessarily are in town-schools, - where all surrounding objects (of natural scenery) are more cheer ful and delightfully exhilarating, and Where, particularly to a young heart, the external incidents are more touch ingly impressive - certainly more simple.
