Excerpt from The Wreathed Cross: And Other Poems, Aesthetic and Religious This unpretending little volume is made up of Poems written during my leisure hours, and, with slight exceptions, in the ex act order in which they are now published. Quite a number of them were composed on special occasions, and by request some of them for children and young persons, which, accordingly, are gotten up in a style and language adapted to the taste and capac ities of the parties for whom they were designed. This fact will account for the peculiar style and versification of some of the pieces. They are the simple echoes of the heart, and now come before the public without any pretensions - claiming no special merit, either literary or poetic. All they seek, is, to be useful and entertaining to persons of a chaste and earnest Spirit, by pre senting important popular and religious truths in language, sim ple, direct, and pleasing - aided by rythm and numbers.
