Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Minstrel, or the Progress of Genius: And Other Poems
Edwiln is not the portrait of an individual, such as the Wanderer, or the Solitary, in'words worth's excursion; there is no draniatic sub stance in the form of the minstrel. He is rather the romance of early life personified and this constitutes the true charm of the poem. Whoever has any associations of innocence or happiness with the images of rural life, who ever can look back to a period in which he was conscious of the indefinite feelings which belong to the fancy, cannot fail of being arrested in the descriptions and sentiments of the First Part of the minstrel: while a man of phi losophical habitswill feel a superior degree of pleasure in tracing the natural progress of the mind in the supposed case of a youth' like Edwin. The father, too, Will be apt to fancy him his son, and the maiden her lover. By thus Operating on the best sympathies of our nature, the poem acquires a power of impressing the imagination.

Reseña del editor
It exhibits scarcely any powers of invention; it can make no pretensions to originality of structure or de sign ;although it bears the indubitable marks of poetic genius, that genius is not of the highest order. Still, so beautiful are the sentiments, so perfectly elegant is the execution, and so interesting the subject as a sketch of intellectual bio graphy, that few poems in the language are more adapted to please, and by pleasing to exert over the mind of the reader a beneficial influence. In fact, it does honour to Dr. Beatfie equally as a poet and a philosopher.
