A VISIT ro THE UNITED STATES l K 18 4 1; >-.Y JOSEPH STURGE. ' 'Tis liberty alone that gives the flower Of fleeting life its lustre and perfume ; And we are weeds without it. All constraint . Except what wisdom lays on evil men, Is evil ; hurts the faculties, impedes Their progress in the road of science ; blinds The eyesight of discovery ; and begets, In those that suffer it, a sordid mind. ****** Unfit To be the tenant of man's noble form." COWPBR. LONDON : HAMILTON, ADAMS, AND CO., PATERNOSTER ROW BIRMINGHAM : B. HUDSON, BULL STREET. 1842.
