Excerpt from The World's Fifth Empire: And Other Poems His first publication the author now offers the reading world, hoping that it will look leniently upon the faults and imperfections but too evident to his own eye. But whatever may be adjudged as to the merits of the poetical composition, the most fastidious cannot but accord commendation for the admirable manner in which the publishers - Messrs. Morton & Co., late Morton & Griswold - have performed their portion of the work. The paper is of the most excellent quality; the typography clear and beautiful, and the binding handsome and substantial. The whole execution is a powerful argument for home patronage. The Poems presented are the productions of one who has written in his leisure hours, at various periods during the last four or five years. He will here remark - and that explanatorily - but upon two of these, - Firstly: "Dar-thula." This is the versification, without the omission or interpolation of any sentiments, of a translation - by James Macpherson, Esq., - of one of Ossian's poems, from the old Gaelic.
