Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Conversations on Some of the Old Poets A preface is always either an apology or an explanation; and a good book needs neither. That I write one, then, proves that I am diffident of the merit of this volume, to a greater degree, even, than an author must necessarily be. For the minor faults of the book the hurry with which it has been prepared must plead in extenuation, since it was in process of writing and printing at the same time, so that I could never estimate its proportions as a whole. This must excuse the too great length of the First Conversation, which I should have divided, had I known in time how it would have grown under my hands. Some repetitions may also occur, which I trust the candid reader will refer to the same exculpatory cause. The substance of the two other Conversations appeared more than two years ago in the "Boston Miscellany," a magazine conducted by my friend, N. Hale, Jr., Esq. The articles, as then written, met with some approbation, and I had often been urged to reprint them by friends, with whose wishes it was as well my duty as my delight to comply.
