Excerpt from Psyche, With Other Poems

TO possess strong feelings and amiable afections, and to express them with a nice discrimination, has been the attribute of many female writers some of whom have also participated with the author of Psyche in the unhappy lot of a sufizring frame and a premature death. Had the publication of her poems served only as the fleeting record of such a destiny, and as a monument of private regret, her fiiends would not have thought themselves justified in displaying them to the world. But when a writer inti mately acquainted with classical literature, and guided by a taste for real excellence, has delivered in polished lan guage such sentiments as can tend only to encourage and improve the best sensations of the human heart, then it be comes a sort of duty in surviving friends no longer to with held from the public such precious relics.
