The Pennsylvania Pilgrim, and Other Poems.
By JOHN G. WHITTIER.
1 vol. 16mo. Illustrated. $1.50.
“The Puritan has been praised in history, story and song; but ‘the Quaker pilgrims of Pennsylvania,’ as the poet justly says, ‘seeking the same object by different means, have not been equally fortunate.’ The poem opens with Pastorius’s account to his wife of the reception of his anti-slavery protest by the yearly meeting, and in simple words portrays, as if depicting the poet’s own ideal, his home, his manner of life, and himself. None but Whittier could have done it so charmingly.”—N. Y. Christian Advocate.
