Author: JERNINGHAM (Edward):
Title: Poems.
Description: London: Printed by Scott for J. Robson..., 1774. 8vo (in 4s), pp. [vi], 126, disbound. Jerningham (1737 - 1812) first published this collection of poems in 1767 as Poems on Various Subjects. This second edition, though not so styled, is enlarged. In one of the poems, he pays a graceful tribute to Hume's History of England, concluding, "If thus th' illustrious close their scene,/ Oblivion then may laugh:/ What flows from Hume's immortal pen/ Is but an epitaph."
