Ex Libris Abel E. Berland,

Thomas Campbell's enormously popular poem, which inverts the theme of Samuel Rogers's The Pleasures of Memory, established the format the series of poems on the pleasures would adopt for a generation to come. While the sentimental scenes described by Campbell often resemble those in Rogers's poem, the martial and inspiring tone of The Pleasures of Hope is naturally very different from the aura of calm characterizing its original (Spencer and The Tradition)
