"IN the following Poem, written by Mr. BARLOW, a republican, virtue is recommended with republican freedom and boldness. The poetic beauties and beauties of sentiment here displayed are well worthy the Author; and it must be pleasing to observe the warmth of affection which he appears to retain for his native country. If this has with justice been esteemed one of the Writer's best performances, we need make no apology for its publication; and if it is calculated to answer the design expressed in the Preface, it ought to be owned and studied by every family in New-England."
This is an edition of a classical book first published in the eighteenth century.
