Excerpt from Sonnets, and Other Poems
Only four of the Sonnets in the present volume have been previously published, and two of them have since been slightly altered.
The sonnets signed 'T. D. I.' are by Thomas Dunbar Ingram (son of the author of the other pieces in the volume), who, after a distinguished career in Trinity College, Dublin, died in South Africa, whither he had gone in search of health, at the age of twenty-five.
The second series of sonnets will scarcely be fully understood without some knowledge of the writings of Auguste Comte, who is in several places spoken of as 'the Master.' I would earnestly recommend to all who read my verses the study of those writings - of, at least, the 'Catechisme Positiviste,' in the original or in Dr. Congreve's translation, or of the 'General View of Positivism,' translated by Dr. Bridges.
