Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Landscape Views of New-England, Vol. 1
In the pictorial embellishments of the scenery embraced in the Poems, the Editor looks for another prominent fea ture in the interest of the work. They are executed by an artist of fine taste, whose works will bear rigid com parison with those of any other in the city. They were originated expressly for this publication, and have been used antecedently in no other.
Thus, then, the Editor commits his frail little skiff to the stream of public opinion. Whether it will be directed into favorable currents, and wafted by prosperous breezes into the harbor of confidence and respect, or dashed by the sullen breakers of scorn and neglect on the shoals and quicksands of oblivion, time alone will determine. What is writ, is writ, and whether it might have been worthier or not, is not his province at present to discuss, but leave the question to the reader's better decision.
