Product Description

Excerpt from Walks in a Forest: Or, Poems Descriptive of Scenery and Incidents Characteristic of a Forest, at Different Seasons of the Year The scenes and incidents noticed In the subsequent Poems are such, with some exceptions, introduced by way of contrast, as occur in the Forests of Great Britain. The Author has endeavoured to delineate them with such a degree of particularity as might mark the characteristic features of each; and to avoid on the one hand florid and indeterminate description, and on the other, that minuteness of detail which would be scarcely intelligible to persons not accustomed studiously to examine the face of nature, and might prove tedious even to accurate observers.
