Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Triumph of Truth, Or, the Vindication of Divine Providence, Vol. 1 of 14: A Poem in Which Philosophy, Theology, and Description Are Combined in Fourteen Books Something introductory is expected to appear on the opening of every literary work, as a clew to conduct the reader, by a direct way, into the authors designs; to arouse attention by anticipation of what is to be found in the sequel, or to apologize for an unexpected entrance into the rank of authors. The first edition of this work was sent abroad without patron, preface, or dedication, as a fameless stranger, dependant alone on its own merits, and submitted to meet whatever destiny should be awarded at the bar of literary criticism or public opinion. The edition soon went off, and found its way to the reading community; where, according to report, it generally met with warm and kindly reception, opening the way for a second edition. The author, being solicitous to aid the cause of truth and righteousness, believing that, by the aid and blessing of Heaven, this humble effort would subserve that noble end, has resolved to bring out another edition of the work, which, he intends, shall have a wider circulation than the former. The first edition was executed in great haste; and, in the pressure of business, some typographical errors passed into the work, unnoticed at the time. The work, however, has been revised with much care and labour, the errors corrected, and some important emendations made: hence the author ardently hopes that the present improved edition will reward the readers toil, and beguile his tedious hours.
