Victorian Poetry
A Victorian Scrapbook of Newspaper Articles by George Burgess (1829-1905)

undated, and mostly from British newspapers (includes a few American
newspaper articles). For historical accuracy poor spelling and bad grammar
(and American spellings) in any article is faithfully reproduced in
the transcription. Also see Poets

Family Poetry on Nathanville'.
