PREFACE

THIS volume comprises all the verses written by
me during the last thirty years which-in my
opinion-seem worthy of preservation. Even with
these it is possible that I have occasionally been
more indulgent to a personal memory than attentive
to a critical instinct. But I am fully conscious
of the limitations of the result attained, and the
motto on my title-page is sincere. Let me here
complete it :-

"mihi parva

locuto

Sufficit in vestras sæpe redire manus.”
