Excerpt from Selections From the Poetical Writings of Jane Lewers GrayNight, was by some reviewers attributed to that poet, who subsequently, in a letter addressed to the Rev. Dr. Gray, wrote as follows: The critics who have mistaken these beautiful stanzas for mine have done me honor, but I willingly forego the claim, and am happy to recognize a sister poet in the writer.She wrote with great facility, but always with much feeling, and without studied elaboration. Her work was the re¿ex of her own experience, revealing a delicate perception of the beautiful, and Warm and generous affections. The afflictions of neighbors and friends, the pleasing incidents of domestic life, and occasions of public interest, readily awakened her sympathies, and inspired her pen. Much that she wrote was never designed for publication, but a wise and loving purpose was always manifest in the composition.Though often urged to collect her poems in a volume, she uniformly declined to do so. During the last year of her life, however, she placed them at the disposal of her children, and these selec tions have been made as a Memorial Volume, for private distribution among those who knew and loved her best.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
