PREFACE.
MANY of these Poems, extending over a period of several years, have
appeared anonymously in Chamber's Journal and elsewhere. The frequent reprinting
of them, here and in America, has induced the author to collect, select, revise,
and claim her errant children.
Whether they were worth collecting, and are really "Poems," public
opinion must decide.
The present edition in the "Blue and Gold" series contains many pieces
not heretofore collected.
