Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poetry
As the poem which stands at the head of this collection was received kindly enough to warrant its publication, i have availed myself of this occasion as an apology for offering a little book to the public. Among the poems which it contains are several, which the wishes of others rather than my own have led me to admit. Besides, having written comparatively little, and nothing of late years, until within a few months, I could ill afford to be over nice in my selection, unless I were willing to re duce my volume to dimensions odious alike to the self-love of authors and the cupidity of booksellers. If the good-natured reader, then.
