Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rhymes of the Road and River
HE author makes no pretensions and therefore T tenders no apologies for what the reader may find in this book, even though he is aware Of the fact, - unknown perhaps to those Of his friends who pressed him to pub lish' this volume, - that he might, and perhaps will, do better if ever he falls into the publishing pit again. With respect to this book, he washes his hands completely Of, and makes over to several sanguine and enthusiastic friends, all responsibility attached to the act Of issuing from the press what he feels is after all but a gathering together Of random rhymes; many Of them too hastily and thoughtlessly written, all Of them perhaps too care lessly collected, and placed in the hands Of a publisher, to receive from him more attention, whether merited or unmerited, than very probably they Obtained from the.
