About this work
James Hervey’s <i>Meditations and Contemplations</i> was a collection of “letters to a lady” that contained the following chapters—“Meditations Among the Tombs,” “Reflections on a Flower Garden,” “A Descant Upon Creation,” “Contemplations on the Night,” “Contemplations on the Starry Heavens,” and “A Winter Place.” Even as a member of the clergy, Hervey’s work was romantically poetic, with a focus on the beauty of nature.
