Lettres Critiques de Hadgi Mehemmed Efendy ALA Marquise de G… Au Sujet Des Memoires de M. Le Chevalier (1735)

This work is dedicated to those noble laureates who built the halls of rhyme that we cherish. Many could be recalled but special reference is for those rare souls who filled us with interest and delight such as Longfellow, Kipling, and Tennyson. Poetry, especially rhyme, fills a proper place in the lives of many. Generations of interest seem to come and go through the ages with somewhat of a lull in recent times. Surely, that time will come again when interest in the art is more widespread and appreciated. The first section is a compendium of sonnets that were written over a number of my later years, which has become my most gratifying form of rhyming poetry. The rest is in the more common form of four-line stanzas.
