Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poets of Maine: A Collection of Specimen Poems From Over Four Hundred Verse-Makers of the Pine-Tree State; With Biographical Sketches
We regret, though we had authority for so doing, the admission of the name of the late Frances Sargent Osgood, of Boston, into the volume as a native of Maine.
A few contributions, received too late for insertion in the body of the work, have been placed upon the last pages of the volume.
