Cowper’s Poems in Two Volumes 1800

Description

Cowper’s Poems in Two Volumes 1800
These two volumes are called “A New Edition” and printed for J. Johnson by T. Bensley. In Volume 1 there is “A Series of Views” bound into the book. The first illustration is of Cowper’s Summer House and the rest are illustrations in or near the Park in Weston Underwood. The two volumes are in very good condition and would be a lovely addition to someone’s collection of William Cowper’s poems.

Forc’d from home, and all its pleasures,
Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
To increase a stranger’s treasures,
O’er the raging billows borne.
Men from England bought and sold me,
Paid my price in paltry gold;
But, though theirs they have enrolled me,
Minds are never to be sold.

Verse 1 of The Negro’s Complaint Volume 1
