Excerpt from The Museum: A Poem
The following stanzas are founded on the treasures of the British Museum, which con tains subjects sufficiently interesting and im portant, to form the foundation of a great poem; but whether the thoughts which they suggest are here well embodied, time and the public judgment, under the overruling provi dence of God, will determine. The author of the present work, published some time since, in the London Magazine, a few verses on the Elgin Marbles, which, as far as his information extends, were well received; and as their form and spirit are of an order in unison with those of this projected poem, they will probably be built up into the same, that the whole may stand or fall together.
