Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Leaf: Dropped Out From a Busy Life This volume is built up from the nucleus of an old scrap-book begun about 1830, and from a few old verses which had been either copied or impressed upon the memory much earlier. The original leaves still hold a few flowers, pressed fifty years ago, and a good many newspaper cuttings of various periods. To these last have been added contributions from friends, both in print and manuscript, many songs and gleanings from then current literature of England and America, while some living authors, and the representatives of others, have generously permitted the free use of their treasures. If I were to catalogue in a rough way the patchwork now printed, it would read something thus: - Nursery hymns, having the tones of voices long silent, still ringing in one´s ears with the distinctness of yesterday. Stealings, from school and other books, accumulated in the desultory reading of a lifetimes; and especially, large extracts from those poets who were universally recognized fifty years ago, and from whom it seems to be the fashion of young America to forget or ignore.
