The : Comfort of the Hills, and Other Poems (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The: Comfort of the Hills, and Other Poems

IN the year 1882 I printed the first of six small volumes Of verse. The editions Of each were limited to two or three hundred copies, with an average sale Of about fifty copies. Having generously given away the rest, I am amused to find that these volumes are now sought for by the col lector Of first editions and are occasionally bringing absurd prices.

This present collection is the only one I have not paid for outright and is a ven ture Of my publishers which speaks well for their courage.
