AND OTHER TALES,

FOUNDED ON

AMERICAN INCIDENTS AND CHARACTER.

BY SAMUEL L. KNAPP.

" There's some peculiar in each leaf and grain-

Some unmark'd fibre, or some varying vein.
Shall only man be taken in the gross?
Grant but as many sorts of mind as moss.
That each from others differs, first confess;
Next, that he varies from himself no less :
Add nature's, custom's, reason's, passion's strife,

And all opinion's colours cast on life.”
* How? turn again to tales long sincc forgot?

Æsop--and Phædrusand the rest? Why not?--Cowper.
