Excerpt from American Poems: 1776-1922, With Notes and Biographies
The purpose of this volume is not to thrust upon the public another anthology which, after decorating the drawing-room table a few days at Christmas, shall go to rest under the dust on the top shelf. On the contrary, it is intended to serve in the hands of students as a useful collection of American verse, with notes of explanation and interpretation, which shall illustrate the growth and spirit of American life as expressed in its literature. Moreover, it Should, by giving new perceptions of power and beauty, lift the spirit and increase the sum of human enjoyment.
Literature is the record of the best thoughts, says Emerson; and the best thoughts of the best Americans are most assuredly 'worthy of careful study.
