Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vashti a Poem in Seven Books, Vol. 1 of 7
A considerable portion of the following poem, it will be observed, is an adoption of parts of the Bible story of the Book of Esther, with such changes in the language as to make it conform to the measure of the verse chosen; while a part of the remainder is made up of speech put into the mouths of some of its personages, who in the Bible story are silent, or have but little to say.
