Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works, Vol. 3 Poem the Author frankly acknow ledges that he has so far failed, as to be under the necessity of sending it forth incomplete, or sup pressing it altogether. Why he has not done the latter is of little importance to the public, which will assuredly award him no more credit than his performance, taken as it is, can command; while the consequences of his temerity, or his misfortune, must remain wholly with himself. The original plan was intended to embrace the most prominent events in the annals of ancient and modern Greenland; - incidental descriptions of whatever is sublime or picturesque in the seasons and scenery, or peculiar in the superstitions, man ners, and character of the natives, - with a rapid retrospect of that moral revolution which the Gos pel has wrought among these people by reclaiming them, almost universally, from dark idolatry and savage ignorance.
