Lakes Poets 
   
Dec. 8. 
  
Mr. URBAN, 
  
LONG before Campbell's "British Poets," I had projected a  
similar publication, containing specimens of the living as  
well as the deceased, with general criticisms, notes, and  
illustrations; and I had arranged the more recent  
writers (for the last four volumes) chronologically  
(as follows), each according to the date of his (or her)  
earliest poetical production: 
  
The list is long and I have extracted names I think I  
recognize as relevant to The Lakes - but may have missed  
some (or many) and misincluded others.
