Excerpt from The Life of Thomas Dermody, Vol. 1 of 2: Interspersed With Pieces of Original Poetry, Many Exhibiting Unexampled Prematurity of Genuine Poetical Talent; And Containing a Series of Correspondence With Several Eminent Characters

IT would doubtless be a matter of pleasing contemplation, could speculatists fix upon a just reason why both in the early and latter ages poetry has been considered as holding the highest rank in the scale of mental endowment; and in the more barbarous forms of society, and even before man had linked himself in amity to his fellow-crea tures, poets have been chosen to preserve, in traditional song, the memory of great transactions: and why, before the I'lldl-r ments of science were known, the simple but pathetic story of the savage, and the legendary stanza of the hard, possess a sublimity of sentiment, and a wildness of beauty, which modern language can neither elevate nor improve.
