James Montgomery : Wanderer in Switzerland, and other Poems

'At one of these sales I bought a copy of "Bloomfield's Poems", but not so cheaply as to encourage me to combine my biddings.

Being at the time in poor health of body, at which times my imaginative faculty has always been morbibly active, I was unwise to read poetry of this class, which, under the circumstances, was more likely to excite uneasy feelings than to invigorate the mind.

I had also, for a few days, the loan of Mr. Montgomery?s ?Lectures on poetry?, a book which I should have been glad to read thoroughly.?
