Excerpt from Poems: Comprising the Last Man, The Elements of the Beautiful, And DeathThe author of the Last Man lays no claim to origin ality in the conception of the subject of his poem. It is as old as the time of the crdcifixfidn, and is to be found, he believes, recorded in scriptural historyf It seemed, how ever, to present to his mind a good material out of which to construct a poem of some interest. How he has succeeded in his undertaking the public will decide. At the same time he begs leave to say, that the age at which the poem was written (the author then being only nineteen), and the naked inexperience of a first effort, may excuse many of its imperfections.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
