Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The World´s Progress: And Other Poems "Fools rush in, where Angels fear to tread." In presenting this volume before the public, we expect as a matter of course, that the question will arise with those few with whom it may come in contact, (as the case should be with all other works,) what are its aims and objects, its merits or demerits? Of these, we have no remarks to make. It is our purpose, merely to relate some of the circumstances under which it was written, leaving the rest for the reader to determine. In writing, we could hardly claim to be impressed with purer motives than those which prompt others to write. That which prompts persons to write is usually the same which prompts them to do almost any thing else, whatever may be the other claims. Some write for money, some for fame, others, perhaps, because they feel an irresistible impulse so to do, while there may be a few who write from purest motives, that they may do a real good; but most, are probably influenced by all of these combined, and we claim not to be an exception to the general rule.
