Excerpt from The Poetical Works of James Montgomery, Vol. 1 of 4
On the appearance of a new edition of these collected works, at so late a period of his long and desultory course, the Author feels himself justified in giving more publicity than would formerly have been expedient to some of those peculiar circumstances, which, having governed his choice of subjects, and influenced his manner of handling them in his earlier compositions, have continued more or less to determine the character and tone of the whole.
The small pieces, accompanying "The Wanderer Of Switzerland," in the first volume, which gained for him a name, however humble, among his poetical contemporaries, were almost exclusively personal; - reveries, reminiscences, and anticipations referring to blighted hopes, existing troubles, and fearful forebodings of evils to come.
