Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wayside Flowers Her prayers, to the encouragement and comfort of many. In the midst of necessary toil, and her unostentatious and unrecorded works of benevolence, she has continued to court the Sacred Nine. Her effusions are, to a great extent, lyrical, and many of them of a very high charac ter. There is a delicacy, a beauty, a tenderness, together with a rich hue of thought, pervading almost all she has written. Her martial strains are whole-souled, and ring out the brave unconquerable spirit with unusual force. The Soldier of Auvergne, The Death of Captain Headley Vicars, and many others of this class, have sel dom been surpassed. Her Tears, when shed, almost invariably find responsive drops in other's eyes. As a poet she is natural, hearty and pure, not straining after effect. She nevertheless accomplishes what many more showy than she cannot attain to. I speak thus touching such of her poetry as has already appeared in print and I can speak equally definite as to such mss. As I have examined. I sincerely hope that Miss Wilkins, in this her effort to collect into one volume such pieces as, from their intrinsic merit, ought to live, will be met by. A generous public with the patronage she so truly deserves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
