Présentation de l'éditeur
A mong the literary characters that, in the present age, have attained celebrity by the extent of their genius and excellence of their productions, must be ranked the poet Cowper; who, uniting piety to talent, and devotion to principle, employed the graces of poesy to strengthen the bands of morality, and give energy to the precepts which direct the heart to religion and to virtue. The general tendency of his writings is, undoubtedly, to excite and give permanence to the feelings which promote reflection, and incline the thoughts to another and a better state ;yet, though chiefly emanating from this principle, they exhibit a variety seldom the produce of a single mind; and we cannot but admire the versatility of his powers, which, engaged in all the diversity of diction, was in all equally successful.
