Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poetry of the Anti-Jacobin: Comprising the Celebrated Political and Satirical Poems, Parodies, and Jeux-D'esprit As the poems refer to occurrences long since past, a rapid 'glance at the state of events at that time may render them more intelligible to the generality of readers. The affairs of England were then in a critical position. The ministry of Mr. Pitt was carrying on a fierce war with republican France, the necessity for which had split the public into two great parties. The liberal party alleged, that the whole misfortunes of Europe and all the crimes of France had arisen from the iniquitous coalition of kings to overturn its infant freedom -that, if its government had been left alone, it would neither have stained its hands with innocent blood at home nor pursued plans of aggrandizement abroad; and that the Republic, relieved from the pressure of external danger, and no longer roused by the call of patriotic duty, would have quietly turned its swords into pruning-hooks, and, renouncing the allurements of foreign conquests, thought only of promoting the internal felicity of its citizens.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mongrelites: Or, the Radicals So Called; A Satiric Poem In presenting this poem to the public, I desire to say that while my remarks respecting New England are necessarily sweeping, in the work, it is not, in reality meant to include all the natives of the Eastern States. I wish it to be distinctly understood that I refer to the Radical party only - whose hatred for the South has become chronic, and whose political actions embody every principle that can be corrupt and dishonest. This explanation is due, not only to the many thousands of good men in the East, but to many warm personal friends of mine, who are natives of New England. I would not have the former suppose that I do not believe there is an honest man in "Yankeedom," and I shall not desire the latter to think I had intended to wound their feelings.

This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Triumph of Bras: A Political Satire, in Prose and Verse Parliament who felt it necessary that they shouldprotest against the Governmental methods of handling a strike. This substitute in high places for the Yah and Boo of the lowlier is (by comparison) much worse than a mere equivalent. Personally I hold the view that the lawlessness of the Wellington Strike Riots needed severe repression; but just as whole heartedly do I asseverate that a resolute and resource ful Minister of Justice would have prevented the riots and obviated any need for the special constables, by manning with fifty regular police the head of the Queen's Wharf, barricading it efficiently, and con ducting the whole of the waterfront's urgent activi ties through the one entrance. But no! Mediocrity. Always moves slowly; and the slow movements of this particular mediomity resulted in a thousand batons becoming necessary where previously half a hundred uniforms would have sufficed. But' while personally I am for lawful procedures, let me insist, in the name of that very Law, that such unlawful suppression of free speech (and especially the speech of men who speak with ten thousand electoral voices), by those great Retrogressives who are now holding the reins of office in this country, is more heinous in its of fensiveness because the offence is that of men high placed. A man's cause is no stronger than its merits, but his words and his arguments - however illogical and no matter how unbalanced - are deserving to be heard by right of the blood Spilt and the immurement endured on a hundred British and French fields and in a thousand prisons any time these ten hundred years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rout of the Muses: A Political Poem Although the subject of the following pages is now become a matter of history, yet I doubt not it will find an interest, though that must be the result of an appeal to memory. As a poem the Author claims little for it; as a political production it is still more valueless. But in this day when everyone who writes may rhyme, I have an ambition to see some of my writing in print, and have chosen this as fittest to don so public a garb. I am fully aware of the vulnerability of my plan and the general loose treatment of my subject, and since I may urge no excuse, will say in extenuation, I wrote as prompted by my own convenience - at certain times I wished to write of certain persons - the following is the result. Further introduction is needless. For explanation of such obscurities as are to be found, the reader is referred to notes at the end of the book.
