Excerpt from Miscellaneous PoemsThe following poems were not originally in tended for publication. But the ¿attering recep tion they have met with, where they have been presented in the numerous readings the author has been invited to give, and the urgent solicitations Of many who have heard them read have induced him to Offer them in book form to the public. He does this with much difiidence, being fully aware that they are not proof against criticism. They have been composed, for the most part, while the author was busily employed in the various duties Of farm work, perchance While following the plow, or when, with measured step, he was scat tering the seed over the furrowed ground. While working he was thinking, and when he had ar ranged a thought or idea in words and measured lines, he would seat himself on the plow beam, or, leaning against the nearest fence or stump, trans fer the same to a Scrap Of paper, carried in his hat, to be Oopied in his manuscript book at his leisure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
