Excerpt from The Tour of the Dove: A Poem, With Occasional Pieces Respecting the minor pieces, the writer has only to observe, that with regard to the admission of those placed in the appendix, he begs to take shelter under the authority of Warton, whose Oxford verses are attached to the body of his poetry. He now commits himself to the candour of the public, returning his sincere and grateful acknowledgments to the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy.
