W. Herbert Thomas Poems of Cornwall

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This book is the result of a co-operative effort on the part of the authors to issue a representative volume of Cornish Poetry.<br><br>We trust it will be deemed worthy of a wide circulation, not only among Cornish people at home and abroad, but among those of the British public who are familiar with the rocky land of strangers, and would like to carry back to crowded cities something to remind them of our hills and valleys and sunny shores, and the life of the mining, seafaring, and other dwellers in West Barbary.<br><br>We also hope a desire will be created for the publication of some of the greater efforts of the authors in separate volumes.<br><br>All we ask of the critic is, that he will deign to notice us; and of the public, that they will read the book through rosy spectacles.
