But whatever were the faults of this gifted and erratic genius, much that he has written has become a part of the thought and memory of the present generation of readers, and will doubtless go to our children with equal claims. ![]() THE poems of Poe have taken their place in literature it is too late to attempt anything like a contemporaneous criticism, too early to anticipate the judgment of posterity. whilst retaining the functionality of a simplistic wallet. ![]() PICKERSGILL, JOHN TENNIEL, BIRKET FOSTER, FELIX DARLEY, and others. Clothbound hardcover gives the impression of a miniature antique book. ![]()
