Excerpt from Muriel: The Foundling, and Other Original Poems

The poems in this volume which were formerly published, were so kindly received by women and men of literary genius too noble to flatter, that the writer came to the conclusion, in order to be somewhat worthy of such generous opinions, and, however pre sumptuous it may sound, to add his widow's mite in furtherance of Canadian poetry, he should carefully expunge all such redundance and disproportion as he feared might militate against their reception by read ers of a more exacting character. They are conse quently, perhaps, in a less faulty condition now than when previously issued; and are/collected with the addition of about four thousand lines which have not before been in print. Being a Canadian, and not an office-seeker, the author may be allowed to boast of his patriotism. Hence national and loyal subjects have given the writer, at least, most pleasure.
