Excerpt from A Flower of the Field

A valuable contribution to literature, and to our literature, is made in the poem of Dr. Henry Nehemiah Dodge, which was written for the dedication of the restored Potter House at Good Luck, N. J. Dr. Dodge is one of the very few poets able to sustain strength and interest through a long poem, and in his "Christus Victor" and "John Murray's Landfall" he has given to the world, and the world has appreciatively accepted, two poems which will hold a permanent place in literature. This new work is much shorter, and is an "occasional poem," which of necessity localizes it, but, like some of Whittier's "occasional poems," which rank among his noblest and best efforts, we are convinced that this one from Dr. Dodge has the historic and the literary value which assures it a permanent place.
