Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The World, or Instability: A Poem; In Twenty Parts, With Notes and Illustrations
Compared with Milton, this poem is equal in the lofty aim, the vivid pictures, the sublime thoughts and the ranges of imagination. The Hero of it, if any, is the Divine Love, that gives Life, freedom and hope forever, thro' everlastiug changeful scenes, and therefore a more worthy Hero than Satan. It is inferior in length, and florid speeches; in pathos, stirring scenes, in energy - But it is almost superior in moral tendency, in undeviating benevolence of purpose, in variety of introduced subjects, and in scientific applications.
