Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Parted Family, and Other Poems: An Offering to the Afflicted, and Atribute of Love to Departed Friends It is with some degree of diffidence, that the writer of these Poems presents them to the public. The unexpected and abundant favor with which her late work, "The Southern Harp," has been every where received, has given her heartfelt gratification; and perhaps her latent susceptibility, roused by the flattering encomiums of an indulgent public, may blind her judgment, and lead her into error. When she is in danger of venturing beyond her depth, and sinking in the treacherous waves of popular favor. "May some kind power the giftie gie her, To see herself as others see her," Or kindly lend a helping hand, To lead her from the dang´rous strand. It is, however, but justice to the writer to say, that many of these Poems have been submitted to the inspection of those in whose judgment she could confide, and she has been, with very cheering expressions of approbation, strongly advised to give them to the public; and many of her afflicted friends, who have perused them, have not only advised their publication, hut have made it a subject of earnest request. A few of them have appeared in the "New York Observer," "The Augusta Mirror," and other periodicals; but by far the greater part of them are now published for the first time. It will not require much penetration to discover that most of the Poems have been hastily written, and written rather under the guidance of feeling than of sober reflection; but, from the nature of their subjects, this last feature will be easily understood.
