This anthology features a variety of poems that capture the themes of society, humor, and romance, reflecting the culture and manners of Praed’s contemporaries. Each piece contributes to Praed's reputation as a notable poet of his time, particularly popular in literary circles for his wit and grace. The opening of the collection provides an "Introductory Notice" by Frederick Cooper, which examines the precarious nature of a society poet's reputation and offers insights into Praed’s life and literary contributions. Cooper discusses how Praed’s work was prolific yet often ephemeral, highlighting the moments of brilliance amidst lesser-known pieces. The notice elaborates on Praed's youthful beginnings, his literary style, and the unfortunate neglect he has faced posthumously, setting the stage for readers to appreciate the selection of poems that follow. These poems promise a blend of storytelling, humor, and observations on society, inviting readers into a vivid exploration of the poet's world.
