Excerpt from Russian Lyrics: In English VerseI have been greatly aided in carrying out this work by the assistance of a kind friend. It would have given me the greatest pleasure to have mentioned his name, but he Objects to my SO doing, and I submit, however unwillingly, to be silent.The amount of Obligation I am under to him can scarcely be represented in words. He says, indeed, himself, that he has only helped to supply the rough material, which has served to build up the edifice, while mine has been the builder's task to turn that material to good account, and to rear the house. Still, as without such material the edifice could never have been erected, to him must be given a great part Of the credit of the building itself.The lives, prefixed to each poet's compositions, have been taken principally from 'a Russian publication, edited by Mr. Gorbel. As they are in every way authoritative, I have had the less hesitation in availing myself of them, and I desire now to express my Obligation to the editor for being allowed to make use of them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
