Excerpt from Alaric Watts, Vol. 1 of 2: A Narrative of His Life

The young gentleman in question was Mr. William Lisle Bowles, afterwards the Rev. W. Lisle Bowles, Rector of Bremhill and Canon of Salisbury.

The publication of these fourteen sonnets may be taken as the starting-point of the second period of the Poetry of Sentiment in England.

They were received with enthusiasm, as something quite new and animating, by a little circle of young men who were themselves destined to carry on the spirit of sentiment, familiar, romantic, and pathetic, and much more, into the literature of succeeding ages.
