As they were not sufficient for publication alone, they have lain aside for two generations: now I venture to offer some of my own with them, confident that in such company mine too will be the kindlier received. Those verses which are not mine are initialled. Thanks are due to the editors of St. Nicholas Magazine, Chatterbox, The Prize, and Sunday (published by Messrs. Wells Gardner, Darton & Co.); also to Mr. Holbrook Jackson, the compiler of Everychild, for leave to reprint such verses as have already appeared in their pages. --Maud Keary
