Rogers (Samuel).
The Pleasures of memory, with other poems. By Samuel Rogers, Esq. A new edition.
ROGERS'S MOST FAMOUS POEM - ILLUSTRATED WITH A NUMBER OF ENGRAVINGS.
The two-part poem, written in elegant but relaxed heroic couplets, begins with a nostalgic tour around the village of Rogers’s childhood, and moves through various scenes to explore and illustrate the ‘associating principle’, of the faculty of memory. It concludes with a poignant invocation to Rogers’s dead brother Thomas (ODNB). Engravings by a number of engravers including “Heath”, “R. H. Cromek”, “Angus”, after the original drawings by T. Stothard.
