Note 187 — TO F. N. C. MUNDY, Esq. ON HIS POEM, THE FALL OF NEEDWOOD FOREST.
Reading edition
l. 4. Thy lays—“Needwood Forest,” one of the sweetest local poems in our language, of which Mr Mundy, in 1776, printed 500 copies for presents to his friends. He has resisted all solicitation to publish it at large; but such a beautiful work cannot die. It will be given to future times; so also will the Fall of Needwood.
