Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems and Songs
IN introducing this work to the public, the author feels the risk of such an undertaking. He is per fectly aware that many of the pieces - that have been written for his amusement in leisure hours, though now laid open to public criticism without any other guarantee of their worth than. The praise of perhaps partial friends - may have their faults and failings; but all he wishes is the candid judgment of the reader. To his sub scribers, and those in?uential parties who have interested themselves in his success, the author returns his sincere and heartfelt thanks.
