Excerpt from VersesJohn edward logan, better known to many lovers of Canadian poetry as Barry Dane, died in the year 1915. He left, in manuscript, a small but carefully chosen collection of his verses - fall that he considered worthy of preservation. The present volume contains practically the whole of that manuscript collection, with the exception of a few poems of whose permanent value the author was himself doubtful. Many others which the author also marked as doubtful have seemed to the editors of. This volume to be worthy of publication.In the earlier period of his literary activity Barry Dane contributed freely to the current periodicals of the time, and a number of the poems in this book are already familiar to that portion of the public which is interested in thoughtful, delicate and expressive verse by Canadian writers. Several of them have indeed found an honourable resting-place in the best anthologies of English verse. In his later years he seldom sought a public wider than that provided by the circle of his intimate friends.The Pen and Pencil Club of Montreal, of which John Edward Logan was a beloved member from its foundation, has felt that no better memorial can be set up for the dead, and no better service afforded to Canadian literature, than by the publication of this volume. Much of what it contains was written for, and read to, the members of the Club, and has until now been placed before no larger audience. The printed page can give but a poor re¿ec tion of the magnetism and sympathy of the living presence, but there is in some of these verses an image of the mind and heart of the writer, so clear and vivid that those who knew him well must find their loving memory of him illumined afresh by their perusal, and those who knew him not may perchance form some picture of the man, some shadowy conception at least of the qualities which made him beloved.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
