Excerpt from The Bride: A Drama in Three Acts To see the mind of a child awaking by degrees from the dreamy indistinctness of infancy to a clearer observation of what it beholds around, and a capacity to compare and to reason on the differences and resemblances which it perceives, is a most pleasing and interesting sight; so in a far greater degree does the rousing a race or nation from its infancy of igrance and delusion, interest and excite every mind of any feeling or reflection.
