THE ORIGINAL POEMS OF EDWARD EDWIN FOOT, OF HER MAJESTY’S CUSTOMS, LONDON.
LONDON: PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHOR. 1867.
PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR, BY CASSELL, PETTER, AND GALPIN, LUDGATE HILL, LONDON, E.C.
THE POEMS OF EDWARD EDWIN FOOT, MOST RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED, BY PERMISSION, TO HENRY WILLIAM DOBELL, ESQ., Comptroller-General of Her Majesty’s Customs, London, BY HIS MOST OBEDIENT AND OBLIGED SERVANT, THE AUTHOR.
This the Author hopes will afford to his numerous subscribers, and to those in whose hands it may perchance happen to fall, a not unreasonable excuse for his having intruded himself into the unmerciful arena of poetical literature, and, perhaps, be the means of saving his little work—the product of his leisure hours—from being thrust into the gloomy recesses of oblivion.
