Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Meditative Lyrics AS indicated by the title, it is the purpose of this volume briefly to discuss American Lyrical Verse, with exclusive reference to its meditative quality as distinct frcim any other features it may present in the line of a more objective and secular type of poetry. Reference will be made to representative poets only - to those only whose work is specifically literary, and mainly to authors whose poetic product has already passed into literary history. No at tempt will be made fully to compass so wide and fruitful a field, but only to give a view suf ficiently comprehensive to meet the demands of intelligent readers, and stimulate their study along similar lines. Naturally adapted as a topic to the needs and tastes of the clergy and of those who are specially inclined or committed to the contemplative life, it is hoped that thetreatise, in its simple method, may commend itself to all those who are seeking 'in the poetry that they read the spontaneous and serious ut terances of the human heart.
