Summary
Collection of the work of Elizabeth Rowe, to which is added a collection of Thomas Rowe, her husband's verse. The posthumous collection was republished throughout the nineteenth century, the popularity of the work in part owing to Elizabeth Rowe's reputation for piety and devotion, after she had suffered the death of her father and husband.
