PREFATORY NOTE.
[_]
When I suggested to the poet a few prefatory words to the second thousand of this First Series, he suggested playfully that I should write one myself as publisher, so here it is:
To things the author wished to teach when penning lines to you.
Such teaching is scarce needed here, the lessons are so clear;
Inspiring every thoughtful man to hold as things most dear
Such actions as shall help the right and overcome the wrong,
Bring comfort to the sorrowful and make the weak man strong.
C. L. COURTIER.
