Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Infant: A Poem in Four Books This little poem was occasioned by the death of the author's infant son, alexander cnv'den, at the interesting age of twenty-two months. It was written for his own improve ment and comfort, at such times as he could redeem from the labours of an academy and the ministrations of a church. But knowing, from repeated experience, how welcome is the messenger of comfort to the wounded heart, he now offers the work to the public, in the hope that it may be instrumental in ministering consolation to parents, and especially to mothers bereaved of their infant ofl'spring.
