Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ballads and Songs
Whether his poems deal with sorrow or joy, they have ever been written under the in?uence of sincere emotion. He has sought that no word of his should tend to foment class jealousies; and, whilst singing of the sorrows and the trials of the poor, he has never forgotten how many men there are who, prosperous themselves, sympathise with such sorrows as much as he.
