II.—THE POEMS OF EDWARD COATE PINKNEY. With a biographical sketch of
of the poet, by Eugene L. Didier, author of a “Life of Edgar A. Poe,”
“Life of Madame Bonaparte,” etc. The original edition of these poems
is now one of the rarest items of Americana. It was published in 1825,
and won the admiration of the chief American critics, Poe among them,
who pronounced Pinkney to be “the first of American lyrists,” and his
poem, “_A Health_,” (of which I give two verses herewith) “especially
beautiful—full of spirit and brilliancy.”
