To which is added The English Poems, recited on the Occasion; Accompanied by Some General Remarks. Oxford. Printed and Sold by N. Bliss. 1814. pp. (ii), 53. 8vo. Disbound. The Verses are by John Hughes (1790 - 1857) who was a scholar and linguist. He wrote for magazines under the name of Buller of Brasnose. His son, Thomas Highes , was the author of Tom Brown's Schooldays; John Taylor Coleridge (1790 - 1876), nephew of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, became a judge. In the early years he struggled financially supplemeting his income by writing. In 1825 he made £962 at the bar, £1000 from the Quarterly Review, and £500 for his edition of Blackstone. ODNB. The General Remarks are not very favourable to the writers and rather wordy - ' The Ode by Mr Hughes is the only one which bears the impress of longer meditation; yet even here...' Other poets were William Dalby; Henry Bosanquet; & Robert Ingham.
