No. 2 contains _Horace in Parliament_; an Ode to William Cobbett; being a Parody on Horace—_In Barinen_, Ode 4, Lib. 2. It is accompanied by a full-length portrait of Cobbett. The above two works, in accordance with their titles, advocate high Tory principles; but though written with great spirit they had but a very short existence. Copies of both will be found in the British Museum. * * * * * ENGLISH ACTORS IN THE FRENCH REVOLUTION, AND EYE-WITNESSES OF THE SAME. The most complete details hitherto furnished on these interesting subjects will be found in the Nos. for October, 1887, and July, 1888, of _The Edinburgh Review_, the work of MR. JOHN G. ALGER, the Paris correspondent of _The Times_. They have since been published in a volume. (_Englishmen in the French Revolution_: Low & Co., 1889.) [Illustration] CONTENTS OF THE POETRY OF THE ANTI-JACOBIN, WITH THE NAMES OF THE AUTHORS. The following notices of the writers of the POETRY OF THE ANTI-JACOBIN are derived from the copies mentioned below, and each name is authenticated by the initials of the authority upon which each piece is ascribed to particular persons:— C. CANNING’S own copy of the Poetry. B. LORD BURGHERSH’S copy. W. WRIGHT the publisher’s copy. U. Information of W. UPCOTT, amanuensis. [Although many of the pieces in the following list are attributed to wrong authors, it has been thought more convenient to reprint them as they stood in the previous edition, in order to insert any corrections, as far as FRERE is concerned. These are derived from the information of FRERE himself given to his nephews, who afterwards edited his works in 1872. They are therefore placed beneath the Title of the piece—between brackets. The pieces, printed in _Italics_—between brackets—appear for the first time in an edition of _The Poetry_.—ED.] PAGE. AUTHORS. PROSPECTUS OF THE ANTI-JACOBIN 1 Canning. Introduction 12 Canning.
