PREFACE.
Let me, in again presenting myself before the public as the Editor of the Drawing Room Scrap-Book, make my sincere acknowledgments for the extremely gratifying manner in which the former volume was received by them. An author’s best reward is the good-will of the public; I say his best, for the public has discrimination, and does not zealously, and with one voice, applaud what is unworthy,—therefore, to have won the public good-will, is to have deserved it. I am grateful, and will continue to deserve it.
In the present volume will be found four poems, full of beauty and deep sentiment, by the former lamented Editor: they come now like the scent of the violet after it is withered, and cannot fail of being loved and treasured by all.
