We think it is a very interesting & a very delightful thing
to be able enabled to share in the sympathies & to understand the
habitual thoughts & feelings of any large portion of our
fellow men; to watch the dawn of progress of civilization
among them; & to welcome the birth & growth of science &
literature by which individuals and nations become admitted
as it were admitted into the great community of intelligent man.
When the first step is taken; when knowledge begins to
circulate; when a language books become the receptable
and the standard of a language; when tradition obtains gives
becomes place to history, and all the vague & misty father which
are barbarous are communicated orally to another, are suppressed by
the record of authentic facts – the germ seed of improvement is
planted & will probably germinate; the impulse is given
which is now acting with such wonderful, such increasing
effect upon the intelligence – the virtue & the happiness of whole world. It is not often
our privilege to a trace the very first development of literature
among a whole people, – but we have now before us at this moment
this attractive phenomenon, and are convinced that our readers
will participate in the pleasure with which we have contemplated the rigorous
simplicity – the popular & passionate spirit – the fresh &
beautiful energy – of a poetical literature which has now only now
found a voice, – or even an echo beyond its earliest birth place
