Prepared by Michael Steer

Elias TOZER was born at Exeter, November 21, 1825. He died December 13, 1873. He was engaged for many years as a reporter on the Western Times, a paper published in Exeter. He afterwards bought a newspaper, Chambers' Exeter Journal, that was at length merged into the Devon Weekly Times, of which he became joint-proprietor. He published in 1873, with the nom de plume of 'Tickler', this book. It was very popular; as was also another work entitled 'Devonshire Sketches: Dartmoor and its Borders' (1869). An insert explains that the book was compiled towards the end of a long illness, its author dying shortly afterwards. The poems are generally written in rhyming couplets. This rare and much sought-after book was produced digitally by Google from a copy in the University of Indiana Library collection and can be downloaded from HathiTrust. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries. These books, on which copyright has expired, are available for free educational and research use, both as individual books and as full collections to aid researchers.
