Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of James Montgomery, Vol. 2 of 4: The World Before the Flood; Miscellaneous Poems; Thoughts on Wheels; The Climbing Boy's Soliloquies; Songs of Zion The following were the circumstances under which "The World before the Flood" was conceived, executed, and at length published. The delay of Mr. Bowyer's magnificent work, in passing through the press, whereby the poem of "The West Indies" was to be brought out, with every advantage of external dignity and illustration, preventing the author from again appearing before the public as a poet, so early as he had intended, he naturally became somewhat impatient, having, in the interval, composed many minor pieces, which he had reason to believe might be favourably received by those who had not ceased to call for successive editions of "The Wanderer of Switzerland," and its accompaniments, though the three years of its doubtful existence, and foredoomed extinction, by the Edinburgh Reviewers, had already expired.
