Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Progress of Learning: A Poem
A word as to the double or feminine rhymes. Whatever may be said as to the value of rhyme to poetry in general, it is certain that in English didac tic verse, designed to be read or recited as a public address, rhyme, and regularity in it, is a very im portant aid both to the ear and the mind. But the heavy, hammering fall of the strong masculine rhymes of the English heroic couplet is regarded as tiresome by the modern hearer. The author has therefore employed the feminine rhymes in order to give more lightness, grace, and flexibility to the verse, which, in spite of the additional syllable, can be read more fluently and rapidly than the pure iambic pentameter couplet.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from The Progress of Learning: A Poem
To the Rev. J. A. D. Barnard, S.T.D., L.L.D., L.W.D., the Learned and Rebered President of Columbia College, this volume is admiringly dedicated.
By his appointment the poem was written and read, as a part of the official festivities in celebration of the Centennial Anniversary of the re-chartering of old King's College, New York, and its change of name to Columbia College, by the Legislature of the State of New York, in the year 1787.
As an Essay the author hopes his labor may have some value to his undergraduate friends in his Alma Mater, - at least to the Freshmen; although he fears the Rhadamanthine severity of the Sophomores. He only humbly asks that they will not be too hard on him.
