Spine title: Warren's Poems.
Signatures: A6 [B]6 C-V6 W6.
Dedicated to "George Washington, President of the United States": " ... one who has united all hearts in the field of conquest, in the lap of peace, and at the head of the government of the United States ... But it must be a bold adventurer in the paths of literature, who dreams of fame, in any degree commensurate with the duration of laurels reaped by an hero, who has lead the armies of America to glory, victory and independence ..."--p. iv.
Errata: p. 12.
This work by the New England poet, playwright, and satirist, Mercy Otis Warren, reflects her experiences and perceptions during the revolutionary war.
Includes two plays (The sack of Rome. A tragedy in five acts and The ladies of Castile. A tragedy, in five acts), the poem (Genius of America, weeping over the absurd follies of the day, October 10, 1778), and other allegorical/satirical works referencing the revolutionary war.
See also George Washington's letter to Mercy Otis Warren, June 4, 1790, accepting her dedication to him (call no. MSS 80-C M): "Though I have ever wished to avoid being drawn into public view more than was essentially necessary for public purposes yet, on the present occasion, duly sensible of the merits of the respectable and amiable writer, I shall not hesitate to accept the intended honor."
