Table of Contents |
To my many friends who have been so lenient in their criticisms of myformer work, and to the several editors and literary men who have givenme so much encouragement, I wish to return my sincere thanks.
All the request I have to make, is, that I hope my efforts this timewill receive no more condemnation than my other.
I take pleasure in launching my little volume upon the wide sea ofliterature. The author is fourteen years of age, but many of the poemswere written at a much earlier age.
Yours, most respectfully,
THOMAS HALL SHASTID.
