Title: A Small Collection of Doggerel Poetry
Description: Various, Various, 1865. Five poems, n. d. (ca 1860s); 7 3/4 x 5; loose leaves, printed in black; text to rectos only; old, faint, horizontal crease lines; darkening along the creases (not affecting readability); overall in very good condition. The amusing, mid-19th-century poems included: "Summer Musings," "A Reminiscence. In Remembrance of a Stroll with a Valued Friend Around the Head Waters of the Hudson, in the Autumn of 1860," "(A Facetious Acknowledgement)," "To a Young Friend, Who Resided in Southold, on Peconic Bay, Long Island, Who Dated Her Letter 'Tranquility'," and "A Facetious Doggerel." They were written in the doggerel-style - easy, irregular rhythm, somewhat monotonous, and in some cases - with a deliberately comic effect. Very good .
