Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Original Acrostics This little volume will not require a long preface. All the acrostics in it are original; and none of them have ever appeared in print before. As will be seen from the initials affixed to them, they are the work of several hands, and were originally produced for private amusement. The pleasure which the writers have derived from them has induced a hope that they will be acceptable to the public at large. A short explanation of the plan of the acrostics may not be out of place. They are in the nature of riddles: the object being in each case to guess the two words which form the answer. These words are first described in a few verses, and then follow descriptions in a line each of a series of words of which the first letters in succession form the first word, and the last letters form the second word.
