Excerpt from The Beauties of Modern British Poetry: Systematically Arranged In attempting to trace its origin, we are left without the guidance of authentic history, and carried, as becomes its own divine and ethereal spirit, into the remote ages of hoary anti quity, and the boundless regions of the imagination. So far back, however, as authentic history does go, we find it existing in great perfection. The records of inspiration furnish us with specimens 'of Poetry, the most ancient which have come down to us. The greater part of the book of Job, unquestionably one of the most ancient compositions in the world, the Song of Moses and the Children of Israel on their deliverance from Pharaoh 'and the Red Sea, and the Song of Deborah, not to come farther down, exhibit specimens of Poetry which, inde pendently of their divine inspiration, are unrivalled for their p't1rit'y, beauty, and sublimity.
