WITH INTRODUCTION BY CHARLES DICKENS. A book reprinted many times through the years Dickens praised the author's poetry for its beauty and sensitivity and celebrated the fact that Ms. Procter was well versed in the classics and in reading having consumed over the course of her life a prodigious amount of literature. Dickens considered her poetry to be filled with humour and cheerfulness. He considered that she had an unusual 'vivacity and that she was unconstrained and unaffected about her productions as she was generous with her pecuniary results.'
