Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Century of Fables in Verse: For the Most Part Paraphrased or Imitated From Various Languages This unpretending Work is offered to the public, not as the mature and studied production of a professed author, but merely as the fruit of literary recreation to which the Writer has been enabled to devote himself in the restricted leisure which a journeyman printer may enjoy; or perhaps he might be permitted to say, as the precursory blossoms of a fruit which he trusts may subsequently develop itself. Attached to the study of languages, for philological purposes, the fruit of this study the Author hopes to exhibit hereafter in the form of scientific writings. Meanwhile, with, as he believes, some natural or acquired aptitude for versification, but lacking that poetical imagination which would enable him to produce original verse of much worth, he has varied his severer studies, from time to time, by rendering into English metre any attractive foreign poems met with in his reading, when they were not of such length as to distract his attention from more solid employment.
