The English Parnassus is a book that was published in 1789 by John Adams. It is a collection of poetry that has been selected from the works of some of the most celebrated poets of the time. The book includes poems that are didactic, descriptive, pathetic, plaintive, and pastoral in nature. The poems are organized by theme and are intended to provide readers with a comprehensive sampling of the different styles and genres of poetry that were popular during this period. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of English literature or the development of poetry as an art form. It is also a testament to the enduring popularity of poetry as a means of expressing human emotions and experiences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
