Excerpt from M'fingal: An Epic Poem Paine, Hopkinson, Freneau, Trumbull, and others of less note, could not long wear the disguise so as effectually to conceal themselves, and they became objects of admiration for the Patriots, and of hatred for the Loyalists. Of all the literary productions of that day, having for its theme the character and doings of the men and times of the Revolution, the remarkable epic entitled m'fingal is confess edly most deserving of immortality.

That force can be appreciated now, when almost three generations of men have passed away since the actors in the drama were upon the stage, only by a thorough knowledge of the point of each allusion, drawn from the charac ter of the times, and familiarity with the social and political position of the victims of the keen Damascene blade of the satirist. The late Timothy Dwight, President of' Yale College, who was a compatriot, a brother poet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
