Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Leisure Hour Poems
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are assembled to-night to discuss the fruitfulness of the Human Mind, or, in other words, the vices, virtues and idiosyncrasies of the human race: A subject as incomprehensible as it is interesting.
When we reflect on our frail first parents of paradise fame, we cannot disguise from ourselves the fact that none of us can boast of our pedigree. Eden has been pictured to us as a bower of bliss and beauty - a perfect Elysium of peace and purity - until the tempter came to beautiful Eve; but from that hour up to the present the sons and daughters of men have been continually howling over the hollowness of human hopes, and according to Divine inspiration, will continue to howl till Time with them shall be no more.
