Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems: With a Memoir of the Author This eminent author and distinguished journalist was born in the town of Portland, in the State of Maine, on the 20th of January, 1807. Unlike most persons who have created names for themselves as men of genius, our author fortunately had not to struggle against poverty; nor had he to acquire an education by any unusual means. On the contrary, his father, who was at once a minister and an editor, was in a position to give him the advantages of a first class education. At an early period of his life he was sent to Yale College. Here he was noted as a diligent student, and early attracted attention. lie received a prize for Scriptural Poems, in 1828. Even before Mr. Willis left college, S. G. Goodrich, an eminent and enterprising publisher of Boston (better known as the author of "Peter Parley,") published his first book. In college he was best known as the writer of many pieces of poetry, published under the signature of "Roy." Like Pope, he "lisped in numbers, for the numbers came." But, unlike Pope, he wrote almost as beautifully and faultlessly in his "lispings" as at the latest period of his life, Willis was a principal writer for the Token - one of the famous "Annuals" which were exceedingly popular in those days.
