Synopsis

Excerpt from The Deity: A Poem, in Twelve Books

Keeping ln mind his original intention in the undertaking, the author (while endeavouring to select its most picturesque phase) has not entirely avoided any subject from which he thought de monstration might be gained, on account of its real or apparent prosaic nature. He 1s constrain ed, however, to confess that in several places in the first eight books, more especially in the latter part of the sixth, he found it required some trou ble and patience (notwithstanding the embellish ments flowed spontaneously,) to bring into good poetical measure science, philosophy, and meta phisical abstractions; and make his statements, at the same time, with such condensed clearness, that ordinary intellect might both grasp and understand them.
