A poem with millennial themes. Although most of the poem is concerned with the history of the Americas to date, it includes several visions of a future of universal peace and prosperity based on the flourishing of the arts and the sway of reason and science. Book IX (237-58) concludes the poem with a vision of the entire Earth, speaking one language and with all nations working together to form a world council to bring the world into harmony. This served as the basis for his better known The Columbiad A Poem. Philadelphia, PA: Ptd. by Fry and Kammerer for C. and A. Conrad and Co. Philadelphia; Conrad, Lucas and Co. Baltimore, 1807.
