Excerpt from The Sibyl: Or New Oracles From the Poets This work will be entitled, Thoughts of Poets on the Poets, and will embrace every passage from that fascinating department of literature which can be gracefully woven into its pages. Here it will be seen how Milton rivals Shakspeare among his brethren, how Wordsworth nearly reaches the fame of both, while by some accident reminding us of the lost Pleiad, no notice can be found of Shelley. Several rich minds among the living poets, are kindly supplying for me such deficiencies, as yet unpublished, and will add additional interest to the work, by their thoughts on their chosen Bards. I have endeavored to make the two volumes of the ioracles a complete work, where the young may become familiar with something in an attractive form from the whole range of Poetry, and where the more advanced may refresh themselves with a glimpse of their old favorites, while being introduced to the minds that are rising around them.
