Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Niagara: A Poem The following attempt to illustrate one of Nature´s greatest wonders, and justly the pride of our land, is here laid before you. Its composition, during a season of partial relaxation from the fatiguing duties of a profession, than which none other is more toilsome, was to the author a source of elevated pleasure and mental benefit. Without claiming to have answered in full the demand long made for a Poem of more than ordinary length, truly American in its character, he presents this effort with the humble desire that it may fill that void, at least in a limited degree. Although it should not accomplish the design for which it is offered, it may perhaps incite some more gifted and adventurous spirit to essay the task with better success. This Poem had never been published but for the encouragements of those in whose favorable judgment, expressed without the bias of personal friendship, confidence has been reposed, as being that of men already eminent in the walks of literature. Much has been written hitherto upon Niagara in fugitive verse, but no attempt like this has been made, to present its united wonders as the theme of a single poem.
