About this book
The Poems of Richard Corbet, late bishop of Oxford and of Norwich is by Richard Corbet. The title page announces the fourth edition with considerable additions, to which are now added the Oratio in funus Henrici Principis from Ashmole's Museum, biographical notes, and a life of the author by Octavius Gilchrist. A dedication addresses Thomas Blore as a friend and says the volume, undertaken at his suggestion and promoted by his assistance, is inscribed by the editor.
A letter quoted in the text, addressed May it please your Grace, says that to press too near a great man is a meanness, and that to be put by and stand too far off is the way to be forgotten. The text describes someone who inquires if this be not the burial-place of Richard the Third and, finding that there is no memorial for him, moralizes upon the neglected state in which he lies. A book list in the text describes The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border as consisting of historical and romantic Ballads, collected in the Southern Counties of Scotland.
