Description
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 93
Whether we contemplate this mighty domain from the stu dent''s closet or from some horizon-bounded expanse amid its solitudes, its grandeur is not overwhelming; for as the poet describes the mind as grown colossal by the majesty, power, and beauty of St. Peter''s, so does it Cxpand at the contempla tion of this imperial wilderness, and of the Providence which destines it for the abode of civilization.
