Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Elegy in a Country Churchyard and Odes on the Pleasure Arising From Vicissitude, and a Distant Prospect of Eton College
The life of our poet is the common life of a poet and a scholar. There is little to record in it except days of sensitive and studious retirement.
