Synopsis:

Poetical Works Of Charles G. Halpine (Miles O'reilly): Consisting Of Odes, Poems, Sonnets, Epics, And Lyrical Effusions, Which Have Not Heretofore Been Collected Together. With A Biographical Sketch And Explanatory Notes is a late-19th-century English-language collection that assembles Charles G. Halpine's poetic output, much of it published under the Miles O'Reilly pseudonym. The volume presents a broad corpus including satirical and political verse, love lyrics, war memorials, and elegiac pieces, all accompanied by explanatory notes and a biographical sketch. Edited by Robert B. Roosevelt, the collection situates Halpine as a prolific journalist-poet whose career spanned Ireland, Britain, and the United States, where he influenced public opinion during the Civil War era. The preface explains that the compiler did not intend a complete anthology due to Halpine's untimely death and the scattered nature of his papers. The work thus offers a vivid portrait of a restless, industrious writer whose verses range from sharp political satire to intimate meditations on love, memory, and national identity.
