Excerpt from The Poems of the Late N. T. CarringtonThe object for which the Poem was written having been missed, it was thrown aside. By some chance. However, it came under the notice of the late W. Burt, Esq a gentle. Man of considerable literary attainments, and Secretary of the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce, who advised its publication. And in 1826 it accordingly appeared, with va luable historical and topographical notes by Mr. Burt, and etchings of scenery by P. H. Rogers, Esq., then of Stone house, Devon.The success of Dartmoor far exceeded the writer's most sanguine hopes. It was noticed in most gratifying terms by the eriodical writers, and such was its popularity that a secon edition became necessary, and was sent to press, in about six weeks after the appearance of the first. His Majesty, George the Fourth, ordered his opinion of the poem to be transmitted to the Author in the shape of Fifty Guineas. He was subsequently indebted to his Majesty for more than one gracious mark of kindness and condescension.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
