P OEM THE AUTHOR OF John Halifax, Gentleman " À Momin's Thoughts about Women." 13, Great Marlborough Street. 1860 280.9.!! PREFACE. MANY of these Poems, extending over a period of ten years, have appeared anonymously in Chambers' 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. |
