About This Item
"Bird of Columbia! well art thou
An emblem of our native land;
With unblench'd front and noble brow,
Among the nations doom'd to stand;
Proud, like her mighty mountain woods;
Like her own rivers, wandering free;
And sending forth, from hills and floods,
The joyous shout of liberty!"
The other titles in the book offer a diverse mixture of the literary, historical, scientific and philosophical, including 'The Chameleon'; 'The Country Bumpkin and The Razor Seller'; 'The Newcastle Apothecary'; 'Waterloo'; 'Rollin's Address to the Peruvians'; 'Pneumatics'; 'Modern Logic'; and 'On the Death of Sir Thomas Moore'.
