OF heroes， history， grand events， premises， myths， poems，

    The few drops known must stand for oceans of the

    unknown，

    On this beautiful and thick peopl'd earth， here and there a

    little specimen put on record，

    A little of Greeks and Romans， a few Hebrew canticles， a few

    death odors as from graves， from Egypt -

    What are they to the long and copious retrospect of anti quity？
