Poe’s Poetic Principle lecture — Richmond newspaper notice A contemporary announcement of Poe’s Richmond lecture. This is the complete short notice, not the essay The Poetic Principle. Locally preserved electronic transcription of the cited historical printing. This is not a newspaper-page facsimile. Typography is simplified, and the text has not been independently proofread word by word. Mr. POE'S LECTURE. — Edgar A. Poe, Esq., delivers a Lecture to-night at the Exchange Concert Room, on the POETIC PRINCIPLE. It is scarcely necessary for us to-say, that to rare scholarship, the lecturer adds genius of an eccentric but very high order. Mr. Poe's contributions to the periodical literature of the country, have rendered his fame co-extensive with the Union. His lecture will, without doubt, excite a high degree of interest.
