Thomson and Pollok: containing The seasons, by James Thomson, and The course of time, by Robert Pollok, A. M.

ANALYSIS OF BOOK VII.
After the Hymn of praise, the Bard resumes his story. He relates the destruction of the Earth, the Resurrection of the dead,
and the Transformation of the living.
On the morn of the final day evory appearance of Nature was
as usual; but at mid-day universal darkness prevailed, and
every action and motion ceased; an Angel from Heaveh proclaimed the end of Time, and another blew the Trump of God,
at which the dead awoke and the living were changed.
The remainder of the Book is occupied with a description ot
circumstances connected with the momentous scene; the living surprised in the midst of their thousand various occupations
of study, labor, pleasure, crime; the dead of every age and
nation springing to life, in the wilderness, the cultivated field,
amid ancient ruins, in the streets of populous cities, from the
depths of the mighty waters.
