Excerpt from Cyclopaedia of American Literature, Vol. 1 of 2: Embracing Personal and Critical Notices of Authors, and Selections From Their Writings; From the Earliest Period to the Present Day; With Portraits, Autographs, and Other Illustrations In conclusion, we may, we trust, ask a generous and kindly consideration for a work of much difficulty. Inequalities and short-comings may, doubtless, be discovered in it. Errors Excepted. The usual phrase appended to a merchant's account, the gloss upon all things human, may with propriety be added at the termination of an undertaking of this nature.
