Excerpt from Sir Copp: A Poem for the Times, in Six Cantos Sir Copp, having undergone a severe physical and moral dissection, is finally introduced into hell, whence Satan, unwilling to entertain him, sends him back to earth to be punished there according to his deserts. This is the first of a series of works, chiefly on the war, by the same author, which will be issued in due course, if home production shall receive here, at the West, a sufficient patronage to justify the undertaking. It is proposed, also, to republish here, from the Lon don editions, the most popular of the author's published works, to which the opinions of the best English critics will be appended, according to him a high rank amongst the first poets of our day.
