**

The vignette, in the engraved title page prefixed to this volume, is from a design
by Mr. Leslie, a young American artist of the highest promise, who is now studying in
England. It is intended to represent the imperishable nature of poetry and literature,
by a statue of Apollo, surrounded by massive ruins, while it alone remains unmutilated
by time. In the fore ground is seated a poet in the costume of the middle ages, cons
templating it.
