Excerpt from Theatrum Poetarum Anglicanorum: Containing Brief Characters the English Poets, Down to the Year 1657
At this crisis, being myself under the infection of the sprea ding mania, I thought-ifshould perform an acceptable ser rice by selecting the brief but rather numerous Characters of English Poets from the small forgotten work; the Theatrum Poetaram, by Edward Phillips, 1675, ia I accordingly printed a first volume, with my own numerous additions to the text of Phillips, in 1800, in It brought the Poets down to the death of Queen Elizabeth. From a sort of ia dolence and ennui for which I can find no fair apology, I never finished the other Volume which would have brought the Poets down to 1675.
