Excerpt from The Retrospect: A Poem, In Four Cantos IN presenting The Retrospect to the public the author deems it almost unnecessary to follow the usual custom of an introductory explanation. The poem, which must speak for had its origin simply in the recreation of leisure hours. But, the prompting of its inspiration is freely admitted as having a higher purpose, for often has the author felt an impassioned desire, as he saw the march of progress sweeping away every landmark of the pio neer and early emigrant, to rescue if possible from oblivion, not their historic record, but the memory of that spirit which controlled those days of our Arcadian simplicity. As a narrative poem the style adopted is that ¿owing, familiar measure easily. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
