Excerpt from Sacred Poems IN this more embellished edition are included only those of the author's Poems which are upon subjects Sacred or Reflective. They have been found, by the many tests of comparative popularity, to be those which are most wanted - most looked for in a sepa rate volume. Two or three of the Sacred Poems which follow have never before been included in a volume. Written in mature years, they must stand simply on their merits. For the others, may be repeated the apology made for them in the preface to a previous edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
