Excerpt from Loyal Verses of Joseph Stansbury and Doctor Jonathan Odell: Relating to the American Revolution Thus it happens that we find very little of local fiction in any of its ordinary forms, among our ancient American literature. The Revolutionary War, how ever, which gave this country a feat in the circle of empires, was fucceeded by an unlooked for and won derful profperity, that foon raifed it to greatnefs.
