Abstract
A 401-line poem in verse by Edward Hitchcock on the subject of the study and humility of science, which Hitchcock presented to the Alexandrian Society at Amherst College in 1843. The poem also deals with the concept of the relationship between religion and science. Hitchcock wrote two other versions of this poem, titled "Call not them poets, who, like me, compose in verse, so very near allied to prose" and "Humility of science."
