Excerpt from Little Shells: From Many Shores A sever family affliction prevented the publication of this work in April - as I had promised yon. Out of the delay, the increased necessity for economy, and difficulties which could not properly be explained on this page, has arisen the change of publishers. The Poems contained in this volume are selections from manuscripts, old and new, and clippings of my own, from journals to which I have contributed for many years, in some half a dozen States and under a dozen signatures - "Mrs. C.B. H., " "E. A. W. H., " etc., etc. In selecting for the book, I have remembered that my friends are persons of varied attainments and tastes, and while I aimed to please many, have hoped to offend none. Perhaps the volume may not inaptly be compared to one of our California highways - with its big and little stones, its sticks and straws, old tin cans, and broken bottles, with here and there a tiny grain of gold. As it is, I commend it to your generosity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
