Preface.

AFTER repeated publication in many different shapes, the following poems are now presented in a more convenient and cheaper form than ever before; and, in the call for this popular edition, the author cannot but find a gratifying approbation of the character and spirit of his writings. Most of them were first published with no expectation of the ordeal of such constant reproduction to public notice, and the author is well aware that their popularity arises in a great measure from the religious and moral tone of most of them, and from their having thus appealed to a prevalent taste which is in many ways the strength and beauty of his country. It is a happy and safe land where such qualities make a book more saleable. The poems within are commended, once more, gratefully and feelingly, to the American public.

October, 1846.

N. P. WILLIS.
