"A free parody of the _Lay of the last minstrel_....
The production is principally devoted to satirizing the
predatory warfare of the British on Chesapeake Bay, and,
what is somewhat remarkable, was published in a very
handsome style in London with a preface highly complimentary
to the author. The hero is Admiral Cockburn, and the
principal incident the burning and sacking of the little
town of Havre de Grace on the coast of Maryland. It had at
that time what might be called the distinction of provoking
a fierce review from the London Quarterly. It is clever as
a parody, and contains many passages entirely original and
of no inconsiderable beauty."--Duyckinck, _Cyclopædia of

"The only known copy of this poem in America, so far
as the writer has been able to ascertain, is in the Boston
Public Library, where it was acquired a few years ago. The
British Museum has also a copy. The author is unknown. It
is quite inferior to the verses of Mather Byles on the same
occasion, and its publication lacks the Governor's sanction,
which was given to the former. Both poems are printed in
similar type, and probably were from the same press. The
rarity of this publication has induced the present reprint,
which is approximately in fac-simile of the original.
