Selected Poems e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This little volume would make upon the general reader a claim for his consideration of the authors whose work it represents by selection. The selection, as every one such, is made according to an individual taste. But any reader who will take the trouble of comparing it with the entire works of these poets will value it as an interesting and very serviceable anthology. And the h0pe is that he will be induced to proceed thus far. A general word is required from some other pen than that of the editor, in order that the reader may have the direction of a friend and a point of view which is in some manner impartial a word which at the same time shall both indicate the nature of this particular collection and cover the character of the whole field from which the editor has so lovingly gathered these flowers.
