Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hills Vale of Cleveland, and Other Poems
As this Third Edition of my Poems may be the last I shall Offer to your notice, I thank you for past favours, and launch my little barque on the sea of Time, trusting it may safely reach the haven of welcome, and be found to contain a cargo of intellectual fruit good alike both for body and mind. I have studied some of the branches of science, especially Geology, and if by my humble efforts I may have been able to grasp the elementary part of that science, and place it before my readers in a concise form, so that they may the better under stand how the formations Of the earth take place, and perceive the great wisdom and power of God in the economy of Nature, my labour may not have been ineffective. I acknowledge my obligation to the great men of science, and return them thanks for the benefit of their research. I admire the beauties of Nature; the changing seasons are sources of delight; the spring flowers, summer sunshine, autumn fruit, and winter snow display the great Creator's handiwork, and should give us.

The Hills Vale of Cleveland, and Other Poems (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book of poetry is the work of James Milligan, an English author and naturalist from the 19th century. Drawing on his knowledge of the local area, he uses the Cleveland Hills in Yorkshire as the backdrop for his musings on the natural world, the human condition, and faith. While the poems are largely observational and descriptive, Milligan uses the landscape and the changing seasons to reflect on the passing of time, the power of nature, and the wisdom of God. Many of the poems engage with the growing scientific understanding of the natural world, with Milligan meditating on the implications of the geological understanding of Earth's history at a time when it was a burgeoning field of study. The author was also a devout Christian, and his faith permeates the themes that run through his work, with Milligan seeing evidence of God's design and creative power in the natural world he observed. While firmly rooted in its time and place, this collection is filled with the author's sense of wonder and joy in exploring the world around him. This book is a celebration of the natural world and will appeal to those interested in poetry, British history, and environmental themes.
