Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scraps of Poetry and Prose The following Scraps have been written, either under the excitement of the occasion to which they owe their origin, or with the double object of saving those "fragments" of time not employed in more useful pursuits, "that nothing may be lost," and of giving a healthful current of thought to the mind: "´T is the main art of life to manage well The restless mind." The author should, perhaps, also acknowledge that he has indulged an aspiration in regard to his own country, similar to that expressed by Burns in regard to old Scotland: "a wish, (I mind its power,) A wish, that to my latest hour Will strongly heave my breast, That I, for poor auld Scotland´s sake, Some useful plan or book could make, Or sing a sang at least." While he has endeavored to cultivate a pure style, he has felt a greater solicitude to express a pure sentiment. How far he has succeeded in either, or both, remains for the public to judge. Some will, perhaps, ask, why were these Scraps, written for the amusement of an idle hour, obtruded on the public?
