At the age of sixty-six, Hawker thus for thefirst time gathered up the harvest of his pen; beforethat, as he himself lamented, his literary life hadbeen frittered away in little books.

Godwin; andthe second in 1899, published by Mr. John Lane,and edited by Mr. Alfred Wallis. A reprint of CornishBallads also appeared in 18
