Notes; "The illustrations in this Volume are copied, with permission, from a series of Etchings published some years since by the 'Etching Club.' Only a few impressions of that work were printed, the copper-plates were destroyed, and the book, except in a very expensive form, has long been unattainable. Great care has been taken to render the present Wood-blocks as like the original Etchings as the different methods of engraving will allow." Subjects; 1701-1800. 1700-1799. 1701-1800. English poetry 18th century. English poetry. Extinct cities ; Poetry ; Early works to 1800. Villages ; Poetry ; Early works to 1800. English poetry 18th century.
