Excerpt from Oliver Newman: A New-England Tale (Unfinished); With Other Poetical Remains It was natural that a writer of so energetic a mind as the late Poet Laureate, would leave many unfinished projects. Besides the Fragments here published, he had commenced a poem on Robin Hood, the manuscript of which is not among hi other poetical papers. He had also thought of a series of Inscriptions in honour of English Poets, the notice of which, as it is short, may be here in serted, for the use of those who may take pleasure in cultivating that style, of which Akenside is the prototype.
