Maria Riddell, The Metrical Miscellany: Consisting Chiefly of Poems hitherto unpublished. (London: Printed, at the Oriental Press, by Wilson and Co., for T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies, 1802)

Information about the collection: There is no preface, and only these lines printed on a page before the TOC: "No poem, hitherto confined to Manuscript, has been inserted in this Miscellany, without the Concurrence of the respective Writers, whose Names, where the Editor has obtained Permission to make them public, are affixed to their Poems in the following Table of Contents." The author's name is not always printed with the poem in the volume itself, and there is no critical, biographical, or bibliographical information given. Again, the ordering appears to be random (i.e. it is not done by chronology or subject) and the collection seems to be another good example of a miscellany.
