Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Original Poems, on a Variety of Subjects, Interspersed With Tales: Forming the Largest Miscellaneous Collection Ever Published by an American Author It is, indeed, with a considerable degree of diffidence that the Author of this little volume presents himself before the Public - still he does it quite deprived of those advantages which, in many instances, so directly hand an author to notice and to fame. He has no great literary characters to recommend his work, and no interested press to trumpet his praises. For notice and for encouragement, he alone depends on that degree of genius and worth which a liberal and impartial Public may deem him possessed of. He writes more for pleasure than necessity - more through a natural inclination, than a thirst for fame; and desires, above every thing, to please and amuse. His heart, like that of every other man, ii sometimes gay and sometimes sad, and so are his writings. A love of country, and all those proud characters and events connected with the present greatness of America, have ever been his favourite themes - and he hopes his touches on those subjects, if they kindle not the fire of patriotism in the ardent breast, will, at least, interest for the moment. His Tales were intended to amuse, and if they impart to the Reader, in their perusal, half the pleasure enjoyed by the Author in their composition, he will, indeed, be happy. Can he but remove one care of the wretched, or sooth, for one moment, the mind of the unhappy, or, for a period, give an innocent employment to the time of the idle - his labours he will consider doubly repaid, and his aim fully accomplished. The Author is much chagrined that the names of Subscribers came in too late to be inserted in his work; - the obligations which they have conferred will cease to be remembered only when his heart shall cease to move.
