Synopsis

Excerpt from The Epicurean

A few more words remain to be said, respecting the Poems which occupy a portion of this volume and which, with the exception of a few fragments of them found scattered through the prose narrative, are here, for the first time, published. My original plan, in commencing the story of the Epicurean, was to write it all in verse, and in the form, as will be seen, of letters from the different personages. But the great difficulty of managing, in rhyme, the minor de tails Of a story, so as to be clear Without becoming prosaic, and, still more, the diffuse length to which, I saw, narration in verse would be likely to run, de terred me from pursuing this plan any further; and I then commenced the tale anew, in its present shape. Whether I was wrong or right, in this change, my readers have now an opportunity of judging for them selves.
