Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Emigrant, or Reflections While Descending the Ohio: A Poem
After the poem had been finished some time, the author delivered itin the Hall of the Lyceum to an assemblage of Ladies and Gentlemen. Their recep tion and that of the several editors (to whom he is most grateful) who noticed its delivery, and gave ex tracts from the poem, induced him to publish it. The author has by him many manuscript pieces With which he might have swelled the volume to a. Much greater size; but as this is his first attempt at authorship, in the shape of avolume, he offers it, tremblingly, at the ordeal of public opinion, merely as a sample of his ware.
