Book Description

Excerpt from Voices of Nature: And Thoughts in Rhyme "We hold these truths to be self-evident: - that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are," the liberty to write rhymes when they please, and to publish them in a book when it suits their purpose; and that every individual has the right to occupy and improve a portion of the demesne of Literature; provided always, that he does not appropriate to himself the betterments of his neighbor, without giving due credit for value received. In accordance with this "bill of rights," the Author of this little volume has occupied a small portion of the demesne aforesaid, and improved it to the best of his ability, and the fruits gathered in are herewith presented; they may be considered bad samples, crude and unripe; but, nevertheless, they are in market.
