    About this ebook

    "Poems" by John L. Stoddard
    John Lawson Stoddard was an American lecturer, author and photographer. He was a pioneer in the use of the stereopticon or magic lantern, adding photographs to his popular lectures about his travels around the world. His travels and academic pursuits inspired him to put his thoughts into words in the form of poems. From the Mediterranean to Lake Como, this book paints a picture of the world that has inspired and captured readers.
