London: Chapman and Hall, 1850. Hardcover. Presentation Copy from the author: "Rev. Derwent Coleridge with the Authors Compliments." English scholar and author Derwent Coleridge (1800 - 1883) was the son of poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. This is an early work by William Cox Bennett (1820 - 1895), who wrote songs as well as poetry. He is best known for "Baby May," a sweet poem about his baby daughter, which appears in this collection. Other poems address a range of topics including witnessing an execution, supporting national education, lost love, love found, grasshoppers, a sonnet to Leigh Hunt, an epitaph for an infant (not Baby May), and more.
