Notes; "These poems, written by Mrs. Newall, her children have collected and had printed as a gift, which they present to their Father, with their loving wishes, on his Seventieth Birthday. As they have, however, been printed without their mother's knowledge, they labour under the disadvantage of being uncorrected by the authoress." Subjects; 19th century poetry. Unique poetry editions.
