Poetry; TechnologyThe next work, if Providence will allow, I intend bringing before the public, will be of a different description of philosophy, viz. The Philosophy of Thought, a Poem, in two Cantos: with a variety of other poems and lyrics of an interesting kind; the result of solitary hours in times gone by, before I constructed my amateur press. The work will be of the same form as this, with multum in parvo, and probably about the same size. If circumstances will allow, I will try to have it ready by about the beginning of January next.—I remember seeing in one of our local newspapers, some time ago, a notice of a small work, of some 96 pages, which said–“The binding was done by Mr.——, and the printing was done at our jobbing office;”—but not a word of any kind was said about the spirit of the Author, or to give a welcome to an addition to our local literature! As regards this book, both the printing and the binding have been done by the Author himself, in each case, as an amateur. As the printing of this work consisted in much of experiment; I would crave the indulgence of friends: but having made considerable improvements in the press, I hope in future to shew a better typography;
