The author once had thoughts (in concert
with a friend) of giving A History of English
Poetry: In the Introduction to it he meant to
have produced some specimens of the style
that reigned in ancient times among the neigh-
bouring nations, or those who had subdued
the greater part of this island, and were our
progenitors: the following three imitations
made a part of them. He afterwards drop-
ped his design; especially after he had heard,
that it was already in the hands of a person
well qualified to do it justice, both by his
taste, and his researches into antiquity.
