Description
Sir John Carr published this poetry volume in 1809, dedicating it to Lady Warren with modest, polite thanks. Carr, a traveler and writer, had written many verses in boyhood and later as relief from harder work. He offers them with diffidence, claiming no deep or solid power.
The poems mix light verse with graver pieces, joining jest to serious thought, as his Latin motto promises. Travel, society, and private feeling supply the subjects. Readers get a polite, early nineteenth-century collection, charming in parts, and useful for students of travel writers who also versified.
