Book Overview

Original Acrostics is a collection of acrostic poems published in 1864 by a group of friends who called themselves ""A Circle of Friends."" Acrostic poems are a type of poetry where the first letter of each line spells out a word or phrase. This book contains over 200 acrostic poems, each one unique and written by a different member of the group. The poems cover a variety of topics, including nature, love, friendship, and religion. Some of the poems are serious and contemplative, while others are lighthearted and humorous. The book also includes a preface written by the group, explaining their love for acrostic poetry and their desire to share their work with others. Overall, Original Acrostics is a charming and eclectic collection of poetry that showcases the creativity and talent of this group of friends.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
