Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Amir Khan, and Other Poems: The Remains of Lucretia Maria Davidson In the autumn of 1827, while at Albany, a friend of mine brought to my lodgings a number of volumes of manuscripts, in poetry and prose, which he informed me were the productions of a little girl, a protegé of his, by whose early death, before she had attained the age of seventeen years, the fondest expectations of a distinguished maturity were suddenly blasted. Considering the youth of the fair authoress, I had prepared myself, before I opened the volumes, to make many abatements of the praises which were lavished upon her. I was prepared to allow much for the natural blindness of that affection for a beautiful child, which leads us unconsciously to overlook its faults; and much to that enthusiasm which often exaggerates a little uncommon sprightliness and intelligence, into extraordinary genius, and anticipates for its possessor a brilliant career, but seldom realized. But with all the abatement thus made, I found, from the emotions produced, while hastily reading her productions, that I was perusing the works of a child of genuine poetic feeling; and the exclamation would often involuntarily escape me, "Can this be the work of a girl of fourteen?" I must not, however, forestall the judgment of the reader. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
