Leight Hunt, poet, journalist, essayist, here inscribes this volume of poetry to his publisher, “To Edward Moxon, with the author’s regards & thanks.” The Poetical works features "a long ‘gossiping’ preface in which Hunt reflects on imagination, versification, rhyme, and his own poems in the volume" (ODNB).
