The Poetry of Observation
And Other Poems (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Poetry of Observation: And Other Poems<br><br>This little volume, like its preceding counterpart, is respectfully dedicated to the laboring population of New England, by one of their own number. If his fellows in industry shall receive herewith any new assurance that theirs is the post of honor, of nobility, and of happiness, the convictions of the humble writer will not have been entertained in vain, nor will his present labor be without reward. May God bless them all, strengthening and encouraging them to fulfil heroically the duties of their several spheres; so that they may enjoy, as fearlessly, the self-approving honors of a consciousness of right.<br><br>The fact of such illustrious and venerable names having been given to favor the publication of this second part of a collection of poetical essays by an humble artisan, proves the sympathy existing between even the loftiest and the lowliest in this favored community; and, if some of the author's elder brothers in poesy have thus also found it pleasurable to reach down the hand to one who would not rashly attempt the level of their brightness, it is yet earnestly hoped they may not see cause to regret their condescension.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
