An interesting volume in which Hopkins has drawn together the poems of some of the better order of minor and occasional poets whose primary productions were to be found only in local periodical publications, etc., Much of the content not accessible elsewhere.

The poems include not only the usual themes of beauty, love, loss, etc., but local poetry on Tennessee, slavery, etc.
