THE PLURALITY OF WORLDS.
On Nature's Alps I stand, And see a thousand firmaments beneath! A thousand systems, as a thousand grains! So much a stranger, and so late arrived, How shall man's curious spirit not inquire What are the natives of this world sublime, Of this so distant, unterrestrial sphere, Where mortal, untranslated, never strayed? NIGHT THOUGHTS.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY EDWARD HITCHCOCK, D.D., PRESIDENT OF AMHERST COLLEGE, AND PROFESSOR OF THEOLOGY AND GEOLOGY.
BOSTON: GOULD AND LINCOLN, 50 WASHINGTON STREET. 1854.
Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1854, by GOULD AND LINCOLN, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of Massachusetts.
