The Adventures of Telemachus.

Paper from the home of Dr. John Lovett Morse at Taunton, Massachusetts, illustrating the sixth book of Fenelon's Adventures of Telemachus. Found also in the home of Mr. Henry De Witt Freeland at Sutton, Massachusetts; on the hall of "The Hermitage," Andrew Jackson's home near Nashville, Tennessee; and in an ancient house at Kennebunk, Maine. [(p.86-88)]

Telemachus, son of Ulysses, and Mentor, who is Minerva in disguise, while searching through two worlds for the lost Ulysses, arrive at the island of the goddess Calypso and her nymphs. Telemachus recites the tale of their adventures, and Calypso (who is unfortunately divided by the window into two equal parts) becomes as deeply enamored of Telemachus as she had formerly been of his father.
