Excerpt from Poems
In republishing a selection from poems, written some of them more than twenty years ago, and many of which have been in print more than sixteen years, I have been guided by the judgment of those to whose opinion I should naturally defer. It appears also that there is now a demand for the volumes, which have for some time been out of print. If I did not hope that with many readers, especially the young, the publication would answer a higher end than literary pleasure, and that the poems would, in their place and degree, co-operate with the more serious and religious works, which the public has received with so much kindness, I should shrink from a re-issue of them. But if the glory of God should be promoted to ever so small an amount by this volume, I confess it will be also an additional pleasure to myself, that the labor and energy of past years should not have been altogether wasted, so far as that one end is concerned, to which alone I have a right to devote myself, and whose sole interest and importance grow with growing age, the knowledge and love of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
