Synopsis
Excerpt from The Voyage of Life: Suggested by Cole's Celebrated Allegorical Paintings
In this pictorial voyage, Mr. Cole has chosen a fanciful combination, unlike anything by which nauti cal life is usually characterized. It is not a ship, but a fairy sha110p. It is not the ocean, but a river. He has gone to the fountain-head, and there launched his light craft, and carried her forward, with her precious freight, until that river disembogues into the great ocean of the future.
Upon this series of beautiful allegorical paintings this little book founds its lessons of moral wisdom. It is designed, as the title imports, to furnish the voyager with the requisite outfit. It is hoped that all who may give their attention to its pages especially those who have recently embarked on this uncertain sea will be the better prepared to encounter the vicissitudes of the voyage, and be more likely in the end to arrive at the haven of eternal rest.
