Excerpt from Sacred Poems of the Nineteenth Century As in my other collection, I could not in this volume have included SO many choice poems, if I had not been favoured by the permission Of Authors and Publishers to make extracts from their Copyright works, and the reader will perceive by the beauty of these extracts, how deeply I am indebted to them for this permission, which has given an excellence to the collection, which it otherwise could not have had. The book must be regarded as containing only cabinet specimens Of the writings of the difierent authors, for a fuller enjoyment of which I would refer the reader to their published works.
