TO
A TRUE WOMAN, IN WHOM ARE UNITED THE
MANY VIRTUES WHICH ADORN HER SEX,
WITH A STRENGTH OF INTELLECT
RARELY SURPASSED,
THIS VOLUME IS DEDICATED
BY HER HUSBAND
The poems in this volume have been written at various periods of abusy life, and are widely separated in date of composition. Most ofthe minor poems have appeared in Canadian periodicals, and some ofthem have the local colour of the city in which they were written. Thepoem most recent in date is Marguerite, which has been written underconditions more favourable than the rest, and which appears now for thefirst time. The poems have been inspired by the history and the sceneryof Canada, and in collecting them, and in issuing and publishing them,the author hopes to put in permanent literary form some of the naturaland social aspects which are peculiar to this country.
Montreal, Nov., 1886.
