Excerpt from Lays of 1855

IN these times, when literature is so abundant, and new works are almost daily brought before the notice of the public, it might appear presumptuous to expect that a volume like the present would meet with a favourable reception. Yet the Authors hope some allowance will be made for their engaging in an undertaking, which, from its character, is certainly in accordance with the spirit of the age, when so many are submitting their thoughts to the criticisms of a world already over stocked with literary productions. Care has been taken to publish those poems which may afford the greatest diversity of subjects to the reader, and yet answer to the title of Lays of A few have already appeared in the brighton college magazine. But not to weary the reader at the outset with a long and tedious preface, we would merely add our warmest thanks to those who have so readily come forward to aid us in this our under taking with their kind assistance, and, in conclusion, to send it forth in the words of the Latin poet.
