Description

Excerpt from The Shipwreck: A Poem At the peace Of 1763, the Royal George was paid Off, but Falconer had previously published an ode entitled, On the Duke Of York's Second Departure from England as Rear Admiral. He composed it, as Governor Hunter observed, during an occasional absence from his messmates, when he retired into a small space between the cable trees and the ship's side. Dr. Clarke considers the conclusion to be not unworthy of Dryden; but I confess I can see no marks of that divine hand. It was severely re viewed in the Critical Review, which very review Dr. Clarke says was written by Falconer. This, on all rational grounds was very improbable; and Mr. Chalmers has on competent authority contra dicted it.
