Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Jubilee, Patriotic, and Other Poems "O that mine enemy would write a book!" Whether the writer of this passage was also a writer of reviews I know ¬ but doubtless many an author has been assailed when such an opportunity was afforded to his readers. And though such an ordeal is not pleasant to face, yet the humble author before you is not deterred by such apprehensions. He is, however, considerably embarrassed to make such a selection from recent productions as will meet with the appreciation of his fellow-countrymen, and especially his fellow-subjects. It is, however, impossible to feel confident and buoyant in the face of the experience of Canadian poets who have ventured into print. The poor success they have met with is not owing altogether to their productions. It may be they did not meet with the enthusiastic reception they deserved; or it may be the poetic culture of their readers was far beyond their best efforts. It could not be that the soul of Young Canada is sordid and low. Is it not to be found rather in the fact that our educational institutions have passed over home talent in their gifts, prizes, and reading selections, and unconsciously defeated one of the chief objects of our educational system - the cultivation of patriotism? Whatever the cause, the unpleasant facts remain, and on this account the author has timidly ventured to offer this very small book, rather than risk the uncertainties attending the issue of a volume of five hundred pages.
