Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Columbian Lyre; Or Specimens of Transatlantic Poetry: Embracing Selections From the Writings of Percival, Brooks, and Other Poets of the United States of America It may not be superfluous to premise that the present Volume is not a mere reprint of an American Work, but a Selection from the Poetical Writings of several Authors who have won distinction in their own country, though hitherto little known in Europe. The Poem of "Ontwa" was originally published in a separate form. The Author, who does not avow himself, is evidently an admirer of our countryman, Sir Walter Scott, whose style he has closely imitated. In itself an interesting tale, it is rendered more so, by the valuable information contained in the Notes which are appended. The "Poems of James Godwin Brooks, Esq." have never before appeared in a collected shape.- They were published from time to time in the American Journals, and through that fugitive medium obtained a popularity as extensive as well merited. By the kindness of the Author, they were communicated to the Editor of this Work by a mutual friend. Mr. Brooks is a young gentleman of great promise, was educated for the Bar, and lately conducted a popular Literary periodical in New-York, entitled "The Athenæum." He is now one of the Editors of the New-York "Morning Courier," a daily Paper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
