1825 – sunrise in a small city

for the promotion of the mechanic arts

manufacturers artizans fostering exalting inventive genius
increase trade business and commercial mart
blending colors richly and well
designing chastely and architecturally.
some thousands may promenade the handsome galleries

truman pratts orchard

here an hundred converts
a noble army of light arrayed
here is another hundred
pillars
another hundred rising
cedars
growing in the dross
