Patriarchal Days: A Poem in Four Cantos (1875)

Patriarchal Days is a book of poetry written by John Watson and published in 1875. The poem is divided into four cantos, each focusing on a different aspect of patriarchal life. The first canto describes the creation of the world and the emergence of the first humans. The second canto explores the lives of the patriarchs, including Adam, Noah, and Abraham. The third canto focuses on the Exodus from Egypt and the establishment of the Jewish nation. The final canto depicts the life of Christ and the establishment of the Christian faith. Throughout the poem, Watson uses vivid imagery and language to bring the stories of the Bible to life, and to explore the themes of faith, redemption, and the human condition. Patriarchal Days is a powerful work of religious poetry that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
