Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems
Britain, thou art a land of skill, Whence useful knowledge goes To enlighten heathen nations still Where darkness overflows. A light unto the nations round, Extending far and wide A fount of knowledge whose blest streams, Of truth are never dried. A land, where sciences and arts And knowledge ever grows, Progressing still, in all her parts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
