Excerpt from The Poetical Fragments of Richard BaxterHess Poetical Fragments, (except three heretofore printed) were so far from being intended for the Press, that they were not allowed the sight of many private friends, inor thought worthy of it. Only had I had time and heart to have finished the first, (which itself, according to the matter and designed method, would have made a Volume far bigger than all this, being intended as a thankful, his torical commemoration of all the notable passages of my life) 'i should have published it as the most self-pleasing part of my writings.' But as they were mostly written in various passions, so passion hath now thrust them out into the world God having taken away the dear companion of the last nineteen years of my life, as her sorrows and sufferings long ago gave being to some of these Poems (for reasons which the world is not concerned to rknow)so my grief for her removal, and the revived sense of' former things, have prevailed with me to be passionate in the open sight of all.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
