Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Maryland Poetry In 1708, Ebenezer Cook, Gent., of whom we know nothing certainly save what can be gathered from his works, published in London a short satirical poem called the "Sot-Weed Factor." It may be useful to explain this title. In the Provincial days of Maryland, a factor was an agent of an English merchant, and sot-weed, i. e., the weed which makes men besotted, was a slang name for tobacco, the staple of the Province. The poem contained twenty-one pages and purported to be a narrative of the experiences of the author in Maryland, whither he had come from England to "open store." Disgusted with the Province, he returned to England and drew a most unflattering picture of the new country, being a predecessor of Mrs. Trollope, Dickens, and the long line of Englishmen who brought back unfavorable impressions of America. Moses Coit Tyler in his fascinating History of American Literature (Vol. II, p. 255) characterizes the work as an "obvious extravaganza," in which a "vein of genuine and powerful satire is struck." In this verdict, every reader must join, though his further statement that the "autobiographic narrative" is "probably only a part of its robust and jocular mirth," will be questioned by many of us, who feel that there is convincing evidence in the story of the reality of some of the adventures described. The work was reprinted in 1865 under the editorship of Col. Brantz Mayer, as number two of Shea's Reprints of Southern Tracts. Ten copies were issued on large, and one hundred and twenty-five on small paper. Mr. Mayer states that the poem had been reprinted, with a poem on Bacon's Rebellion, by Mr. Green, at Annapolis, in 1731.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here’s more of the adventures and poems of the juggernauts’ spirit clashing with physical reality that might either belie or prove his true status in the black hole. The fact it exists became “quite a coup by him of French-lettered desire as I began toiling on this reverie on a midnight dreary, feeling cold and weary” was a little of the eloquence I perused and felt as I gimbaled my way through the seething morass into the ethereal light. Thanks to this unorthodox alchemy, the speed of light’s original concepts have been broadened by using the technique of seeing a glimmer of something almost other-dimensional, then pulling it coolly into reality after first applying some moderating effects to make it palatable to those who otherwise couldn’t understand.
